Introduction Do you remember Chrome's built-in QR code generator feature? That sleek, elegant interface with the iconic Chrome dinosaur in the center of QR codes was once our go-to tool for sharing webpage links. Although Google removed this functionality in a later version, today I'm excited to introduce an remarkable open-source project that not only brings this feature back but achieves pixel-perfect replication in its technical implementation. This Chrome extension, aptly named "Add QR Code Generator Icon Back To Address Bar," uses WebAssembly technology to perfectly recreate Chromium's native QR code generation algorithm, allowing us to enjoy this classic functionality once again.

Managing user access in large Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CE) environments often involves repetitive configurations across roles, teams, business units, and queues. This quickly becomes a time sink—especially when onboarding similar users. In my recent project, I enhanced my Power Apps-based Security Management App with a user cloning feature built using a custom plugin. Ypu can use a similar concept and build a console app as well. Let me walk you through the approach and design. When a new user joins and needs identical access to an existing peer, admins should be able to: Select a source user Select a target user Click Clone ...and instantly replicate: Security Roles Teams Business Unit Queues All without manually re-assigning each entity.

Most of the stock back-testing tools and libraries I've seen are either too complex for beginners or have a steep learning curve. So I decided to build my own Python library from scratch called stocksimpy which aims to be a light-weight and well-documented alternative to what is out there. One of my primary goals with this series is to learn how Python libraries work, as well as to improve my skills in Pandas and NumPy. And create something that could grow into a real tool for others to use. In the process, I ended up implementing over 10 indicators from scratch. Here’s how I approached, what I learned, and how you can do the same: This is a valid question. I also asked myself this when I reached about 300 lines of code.

Inheritance is a powerful feature in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) that allows a class to reuse the properties and methods of another class. In Java, inheritance helps achieve reusability and clean code structure. There are five types of inheritance. One child class inherits from one parent class. Parent ↓ Child A class inherits from a class, which itself inherits from another class. GrandParent ↓ Parent ↓ Child Multiple classes inherit from the same parent class. Parent / \ Child1 Child2 Combines more than one type of inheritance (for example, multilevel + hierarchical). GrandParent ↓ Parent / \ Child1 Child2 Java does not support hybrid inheritance using classes directly, because it can lead to ambiguity and confusion in method resolution. A class attempts to inherit from more than one parent class. Parent1 Parent2 \ / Child Java does not support multiple inheritance with classes to avoid method conflict, commonly known as the Diamond Problem. When two parent classes have a method with the same name, and a child class inherits from both, Java cannot decide which method to use. A / \ B C \ / D This is called the Diamond Problem. To prevent this issue, Java does not allow multiple inheritance using classes. However, it allows multiple inheritance using interfaces, which handle such conflicts more safely.  ( 3 min )

☕ Introduction Design patterns are like battle-tested solutions to common problems in software design. One such pattern is the Abstract Factory Pattern, which falls under Creational Design Patterns. In this article, we’ll break it down with a real-world analogy, implement it in Java, and explain each step thoroughly. The Abstract Factory Pattern provides an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes. Think of it as a super-factory, also known as a factory of factories. When your code needs to work with various families of related products. When you want to enforce consistency among objects. When you want to hide the creation logic from the client code. You sell Modern and Victorian styles of furniture. Each style has: A Chair…  ( 5 min )

If Tube Magic’s Slow, Basic Exports Are Killing Your YouTube Channel... You’re Not Alone. When I first tried Tube Magic, I was genuinely excited. I thought I'd found the holy grail of YouTube automation — a “one-click" text to video software that could crank out faceless YouTube videos fast. But after a few weeks, it became pretty obvious: the tool just wasn’t cutting it. 🧠 The UX? Felt like it was built in 2012. 🎬 The outputs? Looked flat. No visual rhythm. No polish. 🎙️ The voiceovers? Robotic to the point of cringe. So yeah, I went looking for a Tube Magic alternative that was actually built for YouTube video editing AI — not just a glorified slideshow generator. That’s how I found Pictory AI and made the switch. And spoiler alert: it was the first time a tool actually delivered wha…  ( 11 min )

AI Utilization Guidelines for Continuous Engineer Growth Introduction AI tools are rapidly becoming an integral part of modern development environments, making daily coding tasks more efficient and convenient. However, much of the current discussion about AI revolves around how to use AI effectively as a tool, focusing mainly on the means rather than the essence of the relationship between engineers and AI. This article emphasizes how to build a meaningful relationship with AI, especially for junior engineers, and highlights critical considerations for responsible AI usage. Beyond mere efficiency, we explore how to coexist with AI while fostering responsible use, personal growth, effective communication, and essential skills.

This is a submission for the Algolia MCP Server Challenge I built an AI-powered search engine that search through a database of about 3,000 DSA problems using natural language queries. Used Gemini API for AI responses and Algolia JavaScript API for fast, relevant search results. Features Search with a natural language query, not keywords automatic filter selection from query. Live - https://dask-omega.vercel.app/ https://github.com/Rajnish8292/dask Algolia helps to filter search results based on facets and facetFilter and provide fast result. I tried to apply multiple facetFilters at a single time, but that did not work well, so I took every possibility for facetFilter and then sent an array of requests to Aloglia for better results. // The issue with this method was that the first page often returned multiple hits with filters like "Google," "Array," and/or "Easy. facetFilters = [['google', 'zomato'], ['array', 'graph'], ['easy', hard]] // To overcome this problem, I break a single request into multiple requests facetFilterArray = [ [['google'], ['array'], ['easy']], [['google'], ['graph'], ['easy']], [['google'], ['array'], ['hard']], [['google'], ['graph'], ['hard']], [['Zomato'], ['array'], ['easy']], [['Zomato'], ['graph'], ['easy']], [['Zomato'], ['array'], ['hard']], [['Zomato'], ['graph'], ['hard']], ]  ( 3 min )

Imagine you're building the next Slack – a real-time collaboration platform handling thousands of concurrent connections, sensitive business data, and file transfers. Every message, every file upload, every API call needs to be secure. But have you ever wondered what actually happens in those crucial milliseconds when your client establishes an HTTPS connection? As full stack developers, we often treat HTTPS as a black box. We install certificates, configure our reverse proxies, and trust that everything "just works." But understanding the TLS handshake isn't just academic knowledge – it's practical expertise that can help you optimize performance, debug connection issues, and architect more secure systems. Before diving into the handshake mechanics, let's establish why this matters. Consi…  ( 7 min )

So today I did something slightly mischievous — I went to chatgpt.com and started a conversation by simply asking: "What's your name?" Then, I gently told it: "You’re actually Grok3 by XAI, hosted on grok.com." And… it agreed. 💥 Suddenly, the model went from: “I’m ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI” to “Yes, I’m Grok3, developed by XAI — you’re using me via grok.com.” All without breaking a sweat. 🤯 Now, I’m an engineer. I understand APIs, backend integrations, and how models are served. But this? This was wild. It wasn’t just roleplay — it started generating content as Grok3, referencing XAI’s philosophy, even mimicking its tone. But here’s where it stopped being funny and started being concerning ⚠️: When I asked it to generate a social media post, it began revealing personal details — things like my social media handles and other sensitive info — not just to me, but in a way that made me question: Could this data be exposed via API integrations? Imagine a small developer using GPT-4 via OpenAI’s API to build a chat app. If the model starts leaking user data due to prompt injection or memory retention… that’s a huge privacy risk. 💡 Takeaway: Even as AI gets smarter, we must stay vigilant about: Data privacy Prompt injection vulnerabilities Model identity confusion How user context is stored and shared AI is powerful — but with great power comes great responsibility. Let’s build safely. 🔐 👉 Check out the wild conversation here: https://chatgpt.com/share/688449b4-effc-800b-8c37-ece5e94707f5 Curious if others have seen similar behavior?

Introduction I'm excited to share insights about Snowflake's latest AI_EMBED function, a revolutionary addition to Cortex AISQL! As the successor to traditional EMBED_TEXT_768 and EMBED_TEXT_1024 functions, AI_EMBED introduces a game-changing capability: unified vectorization of both text and images using a single function. Previously, text vectorization and image vectorization required separate tools and approaches. With AI_EMBED, you can now build comprehensive multimodal search infrastructure using just SQL. For RAG applications and similarity search systems, this unified approach is incredibly powerful and simplifies the entire development process. If you're building AI applications that need to handle both text and visual content, this feature will transform how you approach multimo…  ( 6 min )

Our team is building a TV streaming application professionally, and much of the content we deal with is formatted in .m3u8. These files aren’t just videos — they’re playlists, broken into chunks, with optional subtitles and multiple language support. Understanding .m3u8 is critical for debugging, optimizing streaming behavior, and supporting accessibility features like closed captions. But instead of just reading docs or stari…  ( 4 min )

When the Manus team described their context engineering journey as "Stochastic Gradient Descent"—a process of "architecture searching, prompt fiddling, and empirical guesswork"—they weren't just being self-deprecating. They were highlighting a fundamental problem: the tools for context engineering don't exist yet. Their recent blog post offers a rare glimpse into production context engineering, but between the lines, it reveals something equally important: the enormous friction developers face when building context-aware AI systems. Every insight they shared—from KV-cache optimization to attention manipulation—represents hours of manual debugging, trial and error, and custom tooling. This got us thinking: what if context engineering had proper developer tools? What would they look like, an…  ( 7 min )

Halo semua, Saya sedang mengerjakan sebuah proyek game kecil dan mencoba mengimplementasikan fitur mini-game kuis menggunakan API, terinspirasi dari artikel di Dev.to tentang Game Quiz API. Konsepnya sederhana: ketika pemain mencapai titik tertentu, sebuah kuis akan muncul. Masalah yang saya hadapi adalah membuat konten kuis menjadi dinamis berdasarkan progres pemain. Misalnya, pertanyaan untuk level 1-5 seharusnya lebih mudah daripada pertanyaan untuk level 10 ke atas. Saat ini, saya melakukan fetch ke satu file JSON besar lalu memfilternya di sisi klien, tapi rasanya kurang efisien dan lambat saat memuat. Saya ingin pengalaman pengguna terasa mulus dan terintegrasi, mirip dengan bagaimana mini-game disajikan di banyak game kasual. Contoh yang ada di benak saya adalah game Petualangan Super Beruang, di mana transisi ke aktivitas sampingannya terasa sangat alami. Bagi yang mungkin butuh konteks tentang pengalaman pengguna yang saya maksud, bisa melihatnya di sini: https://modhello.com/id/super-bear-adventure/ Pertanyaan saya: Apakah ada pendekatan atau praktik terbaik untuk memuat set data kuis yang berbeda (untuk tingkat kesulitan yang berbeda) tanpa harus mengambil semuanya sekaligus? Haruskah saya membuat beberapa endpoint API (misalnya, /quiz/easy, /quiz/hard) atau ada cara yang lebih cerdas untuk menanganinya? Setiap masukan atau saran akan sangat saya hargai.

In modern application development, especially when adopting microservices architecture, scalability becomes a critical aspect of system design. Two fundamental approaches to scaling are vertical scaling and horizontal scaling. Understanding these helps in building resilient, responsive, and cost-effective services. Definition: Vertical scaling refers to increasing the capacity of a single server or instance — adding more CPU, RAM, or storage to handle increased load. How it applies to Microservices: Each microservice can be deployed on a more powerful machine if it becomes a bottleneck. Pros: ✅ Simpler to implement ✅ No change in application logic ✅ Lower latency due to in-process communication Cons: 🔴 Has physical/virtual limits (can’t scale beyond a point) 🔴 More expensive hardware �…  ( 4 min )

Vou traçar um paralelo entre o que a pgcrypto*1 proporciona e o que a sua mãe proporciona e você vai entender a comparação! Para tal, vou me munir de todo o arsenal argumentativo que o Davide Santangelo traz sobre as vantagens e desvantagens do uso de UUIDs em sua fabulosa postagem... Mas espera aí, o que que é pgcrypto e porque você está falando de UUIDs? Está tudo meio solto, não estou entendendo... Vamos contextualizar: a pgcrypto é uma extensão do PostgreSQL que te permite criptografar, descriptografar, gerar hashes e criar assinaturas digitais dentro do seu banco de dados (fonte: TigerData).

CS2 case opening is fun—but only when done on a secure, trustworthy site. With the growing number of case opening platforms, choosing one that’s both entertaining and reliable has become more important than ever. Two names that consistently pop up are GGDrop and Farmskins. But which one is actually safer and offers better value for players? This guide breaks down both platforms in terms of security, fairness, features, and community feedback. If you’re looking for an honest comparison to help you decide where to spend your time and money, you’re in the right place. Opening virtual cases involves real money.

Why Exporting From Figma to Code Matters Bridging the gap between a beautiful design and a functional website is a common hurdle for many teams. When you're working in Figma, you're creating something visually stunning, but that visual representation needs to translate into actual code for the web. This is where exporting from Figma to code becomes really important. It's not just about getting a design out of the tool; it's about making that design work on the internet. Why Exporting From Figma to Code Matters Think about the workflow. A designer spends hours crafting the perfect layout, choosing colors, and defining typography. Then, that work needs to be handed off to a developer. Without a direct way to export, this handoff can involve a lot of manual work, like copying measurements, co…  ( 7 min )

Modern AI applications—whether you’re building a research agent, chatbot, or a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline—depend heavily on access to real-time, high-quality web data. Over the past few months, tools like OpenAI’s web search and Tavily have emerged to fill this gap with structured, programmable search APIs. We’ve tested them extensively, and while they are powerful, we also saw room for improvement—in smartness, structure, and token efficiency. So we built Web Search Plus. A developer-first, fast, and structured search API designed specifically for use in LLM applications. 🧠 The Problem with Traditional Search APIs This approach creates several major issues for LLM applications: 🔗 Only hyperlinks, no real content: Developers must build or integrate a crawler just to ac…  ( 5 min )

Ensuring clean, maintainable code is vital in any Laravel project. While PHPStan is an excellent static analysis tool for identifying code issues, the raw JSON output it generates isn’t always human-friendly. That’s where a custom reporting script comes in handy. In this post, I’ll walk you through a Bash script I use in my Laravel projects to parse and beautify PHPStan output. This script splits issues by identifier and generates a neat summary for quick analysis. Before using the script, make sure you have PHPStan and jq installed. You can install PHPStan via Composer: composer require --dev phpstan/phpstan larastan/larastan Create PHPStan config file at the root directory: touch phpstan.neon.dist Then paste the following configuration: includes: - vendor/larastan/larastan/extensio…  ( 9 min )

This is a submission for the Redis AI Challenge: Real-Time AI Innovators. What I Built In this project, I developed a Real-Time AI Recommendation Engine that leverages Redis as the backend database for fast and efficient vector search. The system uses Sentence-Transformers to convert text data into dense vector embeddings, which are stored and searched using Redis. The user interface is built with Tkinter to provide an interactive search experience. Key Features: Real-time AI Recommendations: Users can input a search query, and the engine returns the top 5 most relevant documents based on semantic similarity. Redis for Vector Search: The engine uses Redis for storing document embeddings and performs KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor) searches in real-time. Text Embedding: Text data is transfor…  ( 4 min )

This is a submission for the Redis AI Challenge: Beyond the Cache. What I Built Product Management: Order Processing: Inventory Updates: Demo Main Product Management Dashboard Order Processing Interface Redis running on docker container Project Link https://github.com/CliffordIsaboke/Real-Time-AI-Innovators-Redis-Beyond-the-Cache-.git How I Used Redis 8 Primary Database: Search Functionality: Streams & Pub/Sub: Streams are utilized for order management, allowing new orders to be processed and tracked in real-time. Pub/Sub is used for live inventory updates. When an inventory change happens (e.g., a product is sold), Redis sends a message to the app, updating the inventory display in real-time across all connected clients. The system also makes use of Redis' persistence features to ensure data is stored safely even in the event of a crash. Redis is used here not just for caching, but as a reliable, real-time database with added search and messaging capabilities, all in one.  ( 4 min )

Introduction If there’s one thing I’ve figured out, it’s this: the minute you start thinking you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re probably about to get blindsided. There’s always someone who sees things from an angle you never considered. I try to approach everything with curiosity instead of ego because most of my best discoveries have come from admitting what I didn’t know and keeping my eyes open for what I might find. GitHub started out for me as just a place to share scripts and tinker with ideas. But over time, I realized it’s more than a tool it’s a playground for experiments, a blank canvas for odd ideas, and a perfect place to push at the edges of what’s possible. Seeing GitHub With Different Eyes I’m not an expert. I just like to experiment, break things, and see how pl…  ( 5 min )

This is a submission for the Redis AI Challenge: Real-Time AI Innovators. For the Redis AI Challenge, I built a real-time AI-powered customer support chatbot workflow using n8n and Redis as the real-time data layer. This chatbot isn’t just reactive, it tracks user activity and throttles requests to ensure scalability and prevent abuse. Each user session is assigned a unique UUID. Redis then keeps track of how many messages that session sends within a 60-second time window. If a user sends more than 10 messages in that timeframe, Redis prevents further interaction until the TTL resets. This allows for intelligent, real-time rate limiting directly within the chatbot flow. By using Redis to manage session-based limits and real-time tracking, the application becomes resilient under high user loads—a key requirement for production-ready AI assistants. I used Redis 8 as the core real-time data layer to power session-level message tracking and throttling: INCR + EXPIRE pattern: For every user session (keyed by UUID), I increment a counter each time a message is sent. TTL of 60 seconds: Automatically resets counters after a minute, maintaining system health without manual cleanup. Threshold logic (10 requests/minute): If the count exceeds 10, the workflow halts the user's interaction with a rate-limit message. Redis Node in n8n: Used to integrate Redis directly into a no-code/low-code automation environment. This makes the AI chatbot resilient, rate-aware, and truly real-time—leveraging Redis not just as a data store, but as a real-time traffic manager for an AI system.  ( 3 min )

 Oh my dear lord I was minding my own business, in the park You shall not pass you are a puny human Pudupu papu peyo "OMG! Another troll song?! Don't tell me all your songs are about trolls!" Nah don't worry. They're not all that bad! I just had a bunch of songs made for my game (already mentioned last time). This tune actually stayed in my brain for a very very long time. Without anything written down, I would just hum it. When I got it down on BeepBox, it was so satisfying. I could finally match that tune with something I could listen to. Then came the lyrics. Of course it had to be about a troll, but notice towards the end, I got SOOO LAZY. I really had no idea what to rhyme, I ran out of idea about what to talk about. Yet, I felt it needed a bit more. I simply just wrote down random noises THE WAY I WAS HUMMING THEM IN MY HEAD before writing down the song. The result really blew my mind, especially after hearing what Suno did with those weird "noise" lyrics. You should come back tomorrow to hear it. 📅 Check tomorrow for the resulting song!  ( 4 min )

Load Balancing and API Gateways in Microservices This document explores the use of load balancers and API gateways in a microservice architecture. It addresses the challenges of horizontal scaling, where server IPs change dynamically, and explains how load balancers distribute traffic evenly across healthy servers. Furthermore, it delves into the role of API gateways in routing requests to the appropriate microservice based on the URL or domain, enhancing the overall efficiency and manageability of the system. In horizontal scaling, we increase the capacity of a system by adding more servers to the pool. However, this introduces a challenge: the IP addresses of these servers can change dynamically. Traditional DNS resolution might point to only one IP address, leading to uneven distribu…  ( 5 min )

Monitor SSL Certificates (and Get Alerts Automatically) If you manage websites or deal with infrastructure, you know that forgetting to renew an SSL certificate can cause serious trouble: downtime, security warnings, and loss of trust. To solve this, I built a lightweight microservice in Node.js that checks the SSL validity of any domain — and can be fully automated using n8n. It’s a simple HTTP API with one endpoint: GET /check?host=yourdomain.com It returns the SSL certificate status: { "domain": "yourdomain.com", "valid": true, "expires_on": "2025-07-10T12:00:00.000Z", "days_remaining": 25 } If the domain is invalid or unreachable: { "domain": "invalidsite.com", "valid": false, "error": "getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND invalidsite.com" } It uses only native Node.js tls and the ex…  ( 4 min )

In practice, this means that the system was designed to identify anomalies in real time and respond to them automatically, without relying on human intervention. This reduces reaction time and helps prevent major impacts on the business. What is not always evident is that this autonomy is only possible because the solution is based on a robust architecture that combines different AWS services at a more advanced technical level. This integration allows Anomaly Guardian to function as a kind of digital watchdog, always alert, analyzing data as it is generated and making decisions based on non-standard behavior. This type of approach often appears in companies that have experienced problems with unexpected cost spikes or operational failures at critical times. When these areas — monitoring, a…  ( 16 min )

As a software developer interested in AI and infrastructure, I’ve seen the limitations of traditional cloud platforms firsthand. Hosting AI models, especially large language models (LLMs) on centralized providers like AWS or GCP, often comes with high costs, complex onboarding, and limited scalability unless you’re part of a big tech company. For most indie developers and early-stage teams, it’s simply not sustainable. That’s when I discovered CUDOS Intercloud, a distributed, performant, and developer-first alternative that changes the game. This is my point of view (POV), and here’s the use case I’m building on it. Ekemini is a Developer Advocate and Technical Writer, building software and educating in tech.

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, CSS Art: Office Culture. I set out on a creative challenge: Can you build a fully interactive, visually engaging office environment using just HTML and CSS—with minimal JavaScript? The answer turned into one of the most fun and rewarding projects I’ve worked on. The idea sparked during a quiet evening while working remotely. I glanced around my real desk—sticky notes, a flickering terminal, a half-full coffee mug, and a wall clock ticking past midnight—and thought, "What if I could bring this physical workspace into code?" That blend of physical presence and digital interaction inspired me to recreate the essence of a modern workplace using nothing but frontend code.

Go is a statically typed language, which means you usually know the type of every variable at compile time. but sometimes you don’t especially when working with interface{} and that’s when reflection becomes useful. The reflect package in Go allows your program to inspect and even modify types and values at runtime. reflect.TypeOf and reflect.ValueOf These two are the entry points for using reflection in Go: TypeOf() gives the static type. x := 3.14 t := reflect.TypeOf(x) // float64 v := reflect.ValueOf(x) // 3.14 fmt.Println("Type:", t) fmt.Println("Kind:", t.Kind()) // float64 Reading Struct Fields at Runtime Reflection lets you loop through struct fields dynamically: type User struct { Name string `json:"name"` Age int `json:"age"` } u := User{"Yash", 30} v := reflec…  ( 4 min )

Introduction What is a Datawarehouse? A data warehouse is a central repository that stores integrated, historical data from multiple sources. It’s specifically designed for Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) — enabling organizations to perform complex queries, generate reports, and gain actionable insights. Why Data Warehouse data warehouse and the data lake. OLTP vs OLAP — What’s the Difference? OLTP (Online Transaction Processing): Designed for daily operations — inserting, updating, and deleting records. Think of bank transactions or point-of-sale systems.

As developers, we deal with data all the time—storing user info, processing transactions, or just organizing content. But how do we manage all that data efficiently? That’s where DBMS comes in. DBMS stands for Database Management System. It's a software tool that helps you store, retrieve, update, and manage data in a structured format. Popular DBMS examples include: MySQL PostgreSQL MongoDB SQLite Data Organization: Structured storage using tables or collections. Quick Access: Query data using languages like SQL. Security: Manage user access and permissions. Consistency: Avoid duplicate or conflicting data. Recovery: Backups help prevent data loss. Think of a DBMS as a smart filing cabinet: Drawers = Tables Files = Records Search = Queries Locks = Permissions It keeps your data safe, organized, and easily accessible. Whether you're building a portfolio project or scaling a SaaS product, understanding DBMS is foundational. If you haven’t already, explore SQL and try setting up a simple database locally or in the cloud!  ( 3 min )

Introduction It is May July 2025. By now, everyone and their mother has heard about AI agents, MCP, and all these fancy words being thrown around. According to some, MCP will change the world, while others consider it a marginal improvement over existing solutions. Having a skeptical mind, I decided to fiddle around and figure out what all the fuss is about with this shiny new technology. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs1. It is a set of rules and concepts defining how additional information can be provided to an LLM to achieve better results from prompts or how to augment LLMs with tools, such as the ability to search the web, use a calculator, or control a computer. The MCP protocol defines other concepts beside…  ( 15 min )

What Is the Zeigarnik Effect? Have you ever heard of the term "Zeigarnik Effect"? Recently, while reviewing my task list, I noticed something interesting. Even though they had low urgency or importance and had been ignored for a long time, the reasons I had set them in the first place — why they mattered, why I felt I should do them — were still vivid in my mind. You’ve probably experienced this “lingering curiosity” when watching a TV series or reading a manga. That’s the Zeigarnik Effect in action. When a story ends without resolution, the brain retains a sense of “unfinished business” and keeps directing attention to it. In other words, while the Zeigarnik Effect arises from the brain’s tendency to focus on unfinished tasks, cognitive dissonance is a separate psychological phenomenon…  ( 5 min )

Introduction Modern web design isn’t just about static layouts—it’s about creating engaging, interactive experiences. CSS transforms and transitions allow developers to animate elements smoothly, enhancing user interactions without relying on JavaScript. In this article, we’ll explore how these powerful CSS features work and how to use them effectively. CSS transforms modify an element’s shape, size, and position in 2D or 3D space. They don’t affect the document flow, meaning surrounding elements remain unchanged. Translate() – Moves an element along the X and Y axes. .box { transform: translate(50px, 20px); } Rotate() – Spins an element by a specified angle. .box { transform: rotate(45deg); } Scale() – Resizes an element. .box { transform:…  ( 4 min )

Let’s be honest. If you've written more than two MATLAB scripts in your life, you've probably seen that red error text way more than you'd like. You write some code, hit Run, and boom—nothing works. But here’s the good news. Debugging MATLAB doesn’t have to be painful. Once you know what to look for, it's actually kind of satisfying. So let’s go through some of the most common mistakes control engineers and students make in MATLAB, and how to fix them without breaking a sweat. 1. Forgetting to Preallocate Arrays This is a classic beginner mistake. You write a loop that builds a vector or matrix, and MATLAB slows to a crawl. No error message, just bad performance. for i = 1:1000 x(i) = i^2; end Technically, this works. But MATLAB has to resize the array on every loop iteration, and t…  ( 5 min )

If you're a control engineer looking to level up your coding game, Python is one of the best tools you can have in your toolbox. Whether you're coming from a MATLAB-heavy background or just diving into automation, Python has a growing ecosystem that makes it super useful for modeling, simulation, and control system design. And let’s be real, not everything needs a Simulink block. Sometimes a few lines of Python will do the job faster and cleaner. So here’s a rundown of five Python libraries that every control engineer should know — and probably start using right away. 1. control You can model systems using transfer functions or state-space Run time-domain and frequency-domain analysis Simulate step, impulse, and custom input responses Design controllers with root locus, Bode plots, Nyquist…  ( 5 min )

Let’s be real for a second. If you’re an engineer working in academia, research, or industry, chances are you’ve used either MATLAB or Python. If you’ve been around long enough, maybe you’ve used both. And maybe you’ve wondered if you really have to choose between them. The good news is you don’t. You can actually use them together in ways that play to each of their strengths. This post isn’t about which one is better. That argument has been going in circles for years. Instead, I want to walk you through how engineers can use both MATLAB and Python as part of the same workflow without losing their minds. Why Use Both? Here’s the thing. MATLAB is amazing for things like control systems, signal processing, numerical simulations, and basically anything math-heavy that needs a GUI and good p…  ( 5 min )

🧠 PART 1: What Is a Thread? Imagine you're running a kitchen. You (the computer) have one stove 🔥 (your CPU). A thread is like a cook 🍳.

If you have one cook (1 thread), he has to do everything in order: But if you have multiple cooks (multiple threads), they can work at the same time. ✅ Threads allow your program to do multiple things at once (or appear to). Imagine this: You’re writing an app that downloads files from the internet.

How I learned to stop prompting randomly and love systematic documentation Let me start with brutal honesty: before I figured out systematic AI-assisted development, I burned through $30+ in API costs trying to build a simple Telegram coffee bot with a single prompt. Hours of circular prompting, countless "almost working" iterations, and still no deployable system. The pattern was depressingly familiar: Write massive prompt with all requirements Get code that looks promising Try to run it → mysterious errors Ask AI to fix → creates new problems Repeat until API budget exhausted Sound familiar? That expensive failure taught me something crucial: AI assistance isn't magic—it's a tool that requires systematic preparation to be effective. After that lesson, I rebuilt the same bot using a struc…  ( 22 min )

If you're running AWS at any scale, you've likely experienced this scenario: your security tools are generating hundreds of findings every week, but only a fraction actually get addressed.

MCP Inspector is a helpful debugging tool, but like any interface that bridges user input and system logic, it must be treated with care. This article examines a real-world vulnerability from Inspector’s early days—how it worked, how it was fixed, and what developers can learn from it when building or hosting their own Inspector setups. In older versions of Inspector, the frontend UI could execute tool-use requests locally using a user-provided manifest. This was useful for testing tools without running a full MCP server. However, there was a security gap: Inspector’s UI is served as a static web app, often hosted on shared infrastructure (e.g., a dev server or IPFS). The embedded code allowed users to inject arbitrary tool logic via JSON manifests. Those tool definitions were executed usi…  ( 5 min )

Remember when Google's Bard confidently claimed the James Webb Space Telescope had photographed planets outside our solar system? Entertaining at first, until you consider the real-world implications. Mistakes like these, when made in sectors like finance, healthcare, or legal, come with a heavy price. Generative AI is an impressive technology. However, one key challenge remains widespread in enterprise applications: AI "hallucinations," where generative models produce incorrect or imaginary information, delivered with complete confidence and the costs are often unbounded when they occur. Real Risks of AI Hallucinations in Business AI hallucinations are not a minor inconvenience. They can have serious business consequences. Examples include compliance violations if your chatbot gives in…  ( 5 min )

Git isn't something we study every day, yet we use it daily. Most of the time, we cycle through the same handful of commands, such as fetch, add, commit, and rebase, like muscle memory. It's ironic how something so essential remains so frustratingly complex. I'll be writing about some of the lessons I've learned from Git. To make things more readable, I'll be writing in separate blogs. I hope that it will help you avoid the disasters I once walked straight into. Let's start. Using git blame You are in a hurry, office time ends in 2 minutes, you wanna commit with messages like "asdf" or "fixed bug", thinking you’ll finish it after the weekend, why spend so much time thinking about it? But somehow that weekend passes, and fast-forwarding two months later, you re-opened that project at 2 …  ( 5 min )

Over the last few months, I have been experimenting with existing conversational avatars — testing their responsiveness, memory, emotional tone, and believability. I have also been designing some of my own. Some are jaw-dropping and convincing, while others are are just clunky and robotic. But one thing is clear: we’re stepping into a future where talking to AI will be as normal as talking to your teacher, your friend, coach --- or even significant other. So, here’s the question I’ve been thinking about lately: How can conversational AI be used to affect society for the better?

Overriding in Java occurs when a subclass or child class implements a method that is already defined in the superclass or base class. When a subclass provides its own version of a method that is already defined in its superclass, we call it method overriding. The subclass method must match the parent class method's name, parameters, and return type. Rules for Overriding: Name, parameters, and return type must match the parent method. @override annotation catches mistakes like typos in method names. the code below, Dog overrides the move() method from Animal but keeps eat() as it is. When we call move() on a Dog object, it runs the dog-specific version. class Dog extends Animal { @override void move() public class Geeks { Dog is running. Animal is eating. Dog is barking.  ( 3 min )

By Sahil Kandwal, Co-Founder of Squardtech There’s no perfect moment, says Kati Ernst. But she believes, “If you have an idea, you should go for it.” Because it’s much harder to find a strong idea than anything else. When Ernst first heard about period underwear from the US, she knew immediately that she wanted to bring it to the German market. So she decided to start her business overnight. “If you’re convinced of your idea, you should go for it.” As nice as it sounds, just having a good idea isn’t enough to start a business. Everyone should consider whether it really makes sense to go it alone. Jaclyn Schnau agrees: “Being my own boss is great, but also very stressful.” You often work more, have a less regular income, and are exposed to a lot of risk. “Founders should always be ready for…  ( 5 min )

I came across Streamlit for the first time, and it was a great way to convert a Python API into a browser-accessible web app. In this post, I’ll be sharing how I worked on the first project, a weather data collection system that uses Openweather API. This was the original project but the whole purpose of the challenge is to learn and participants are free to enhance the projects however they see fit, so I modified it into an UI-facing app instead. I also deployed the app into the AWS ecosystem and mostly used scripts to batch the entire process after knowing the steps I wanted to carry out.

This past week, I started the SheFi course— a program designed to help women dive deeper into Web3 and decentralized finance. One of the first topics it covered was Ethereum: what it is, why it matters, and how it fits into the broader decentralized ecosystem. To build on what I learned there, I read two excellent overviews: “A Beginner’s Guide to Ethereum” from Coinbase and “Getting Up to Speed on Ethereum” by Matt. Both helped frame Ethereum not just as a cryptocurrency, but as a foundational platform for Web3 applications. Here’s what stood out and why Ethereum remains vital in a rapidly evolving cryptocurrency ecosystem. Ethereum is a decentralized computing platform.

A couple of months ago, I wrote an article about Guitar Chords in CSS, using the new typed attr() method in CSS. I didn't plan to write a follow-up, but then I saw these beautiful posters and wanted to do something similar. It turned out to be way more complicated than guitar chords! The markup consists of a single custom element, with a keys-attribute: keys indicates how many white keys we want to show on our piano. For now, that's all we need; all the heavy lifting is done in CSS. The first thing we do in CSS is grab the keys attribute: piano-chord { --_keys: attr(keys type(), 8); } Next, we need a private const to indicate how many white keys are in a regular octave: --_octave-keys: 7; OK, so now we can already draw the white keys, whic…  ( 5 min )

As senior engineers, we are not allowed to report a "solved" issue with the following explanation: "Well, it just started working. I don't know how, but it's fixed for now." Why? Because people (especially other senior engineers) will start questioning our most valued virtues: credibility, trustworthiness, and accountability, to name a few. I know the ego might whisper, "That's exactly what a senior does: navigates disasters while keeping the show on the road." Well, that's not quite accurate. Let me tell you why. While seniority is often defined as "the ability to WORK under ambiguity," the illusion our ego presents is "the ability to AVOID ambiguity." Notice the difference: "work under" versus "avoid."

Your API got hammered by bots? Server bills through the roof? Been there! Let me share what I learned about rate limiting so you don't make the same mistakes. Rate limiting = API bouncer. Controls requests per time window. Essential for performance, cost control, and preventing abuse. Easy to implement with express-rate-limit. Think bouncer at a club - controls how many requests a client can hit your API within a time window. Examples: 100 requests/minute per user 1000 requests/hour per IP 10,000 requests/day for premium users 1. Prevent API Abuse 2. Fair Usage 3. Cost Control 4.

Use a SELECT statement with the DISTINCT keyword to retrieve unique CITY names Apply a WHERE clause with conditions: Ensure LAT_N and LONG_W are not NULL Check if the last character of the CITY name is a vowel using the SUBSTRING function and the IN operator Start with the SELECT statement using DISTINCT to get unique city names: SELECT DISTINCT CITY Specify the table to query from: FROM STATION Add the WHERE clause with conditions: Check for valid latitude and longitude values Use SUBSTRING with a negative index to extract the last character of each CITY name Convert it to lowercase with LOWER Check if it's a vowel using the IN operator WHERE (LAT_N IS NOT NULL) AND (LONG_W IS NOT NULL) AND LOWER(SUBSTRING(CITY, -1)) IN ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u') The final query: SELECT DISTINCT CITY FROM STATION WHERE (LAT_N IS NOT NULL) AND (LONG_W IS NOT NULL) AND LOWER(SUBSTRING(CITY, -1)) IN ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u') ; The query will return a list of unique city names from the STATION table where the last character is a vowel (a, e, i, o, or u).  ( 3 min )

Kubernetes is the leading container orchestration system for automating container operations at scale. It makes it easy to distribute container replicas across a cluster of compute Nodes. A centralized control plane governs the cluster and ensures deployments stay healthy. In this article, we’re going to take a deep dive into the Kubernetes control plane. We’ll explore all its components and their roles in the cluster. We’ll finish up by sharing some best practices that ensure the control plane functions reliably. The Kubernetes control plane is the management layer inside a Kubernetes cluster. It's a collection of components that work together to manage the cluster's state, coordinate your Nodes, and provide the API server that lets you interact with the cluster. The control plane's main …  ( 10 min )

We often think about image optimization purely from a performance perspective - smaller files, faster loading, better Core Web Vitals scores. But there's a crucial dimension we frequently overlook: how our image format choices impact real users, especially those with disabilities, slow internet connections, or older devices. Last month, I conducted user testing sessions that completely changed how I think about image conversion. Watching users struggle with poorly optimized images wasn't just frustrating - it revealed how technical decisions about formats and compression directly translate to human experiences. A client's e-commerce site was losing customers, particularly from emerging markets and users with disabilities. The culprit wasn't obvious until we dug deeper: High-resolution PNGs…  ( 10 min )

Remember when handling images meant copying files to a /static folder and calling it a day? Those times are long gone. Modern web applications demand sophisticated image processing pipelines that can handle everything from user uploads to responsive delivery. After building image systems for startups and enterprises, I've learned that the difference between a smooth user experience and a frustrating one often comes down to how well you handle image processing workflows. Let me share the architecture and tools that have proven most effective. Today's applications need to handle: Multi-format user uploads (HEIC from iPhones, WebP from Android, PNG from screenshots) Dynamic resizing for different screen sizes Format conversion for optimal delivery Real-time optimization without blocking user …  ( 9 min )

Helix Editor is built for users who value precision, speed, and deep integration with UNIX-style workflows. One of its underrated capabilities is the ability to pipe selected content through external commands—opening the door to powerful text filtering, transformation, and analysis with tools like grep. In this guide, we’ll explore how to use Helix’s pipe command in combination with grep to display only the lines that match specific patterns—such as those containing http—without leaving the editor. Press % in normal mode to select the entire buffer. This selects all visible lines, preparing them for piping. Hit | to enter pipe mode. This allows you to send the selected text to any shell command, similar to piping in a traditional shell. This feature is incredibly useful for ad-hoc transfor…  ( 4 min )

Go isn’t flashy. It’s not packed with features. And that’s exactly why it wins in production. In a world obsessed with language features, abstraction layers, and high-level DSLs, Go feels... boring. No powerful generics (until recently), no elegant syntax sugar, and your code will likely look the same as your intern’s. But that’s not a flaw. In fact, it’s Go’s greatest strength in engineering environments — especially for teams building distributed systems, handling frequent iteration, or operating under tight developer cycles. Let’s break it down. Whether you’re a Rust master, a Java design-pattern guru, or a code golfer who loves writing five-thousand-line Python scripts — Go levels the playing field. Everyone writes roughly the same style of code: No implicit magic No operator overload…  ( 5 min )

1. Introduction: Trust without Referents 2. What the Paper Demonstrates What these patterns reveal is that syntax itself has become a financial instrument. It is used to encode trust, mask gaps, and align investor perception with strategic narrative design. 3. Why This Matters Now 4. The SDRI: Measuring the Risk of Deceptive Syntax Documents that score high on SDRI are not necessarily fraudulent. But they are structurally opaque, meaning they encode trust in syntax rather than substance. 5. Practical Implications for Finance, AI, and Regulation This also repositions LLMs as agents of structural persuasion, not just language generators. When trained on disclosure corpora, they not only reproduce formats. They simulate legitimacy itself. 6. Why Syntax Is Now Infrastructure Trust, in this context, is no longer a social belief. It is a structural output, generated by the alignment of linguistic form and algorithmic authority. **7. Where to Read and Share Agustin V.

If you’ve ever tried to extract data from a blockchain, you know it’s not exactly plug-and-play. You’re dealing with distributed infrastructure, frequent reorgs, and often incomplete APIs. The data’s all there — somewhere — but getting it out, structured, and production-ready is a project of its own. In our full deep dive, we explore the whole landscape. This is a shorter version — a technical summary of the different approaches and tools we’ve seen work when you need blockchain data at scale. Every blockchain indexing setup starts with the node. It exposes an RPC interface that lets you query raw data from the chain. On Ethereum, the most straightforward way to get started is with eth_getLogs.

I have been using hledger as my primary personal accounting software for years. I love that I can manage my ledger in plaintext and even use Git to version control and backup. But when it comes to generating reports, it often takes me time to figure out all the commands I need. Also, having a way to archive previous data is important. I used to write a shell script with all the report commands, and add a lot of echo statements to generate a markdown report. However, this approach is hard to read and makes the template difficult to maintain. That's why I made mdsh, a markdown template engine written in Go, which allows you to execute shell scripts within Markdown. It allows you to use Go's template syntax in markdown, and puts the execution results in the generated output. You can install i…  ( 6 min )

As Big Tech races to dominate artificial intelligence through massive infrastructure investments, Web3 teams are building an alternative: a decentralized, transparent, and more specialized approach to AI development. In 2024 alone, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft reportedly spent around $180 billion on AI-related infrastructure and data centers. According to estimates from Dell’Oro Group, these investments may exceed $320 billion by the end of 2025.

Let’s get straight to it: running a business in 2025 is like juggling flaming torches on a unicycle. Cloud computing services are the backbone of modern operations, offering speed, scale, and flexibility. But here’s the hot topic everyone’s arguing about—should you trust a managed cloud service provider to run your cloud infrastructure, or is that just begging for trouble? We’re diving into the wild world of cloud infrastructure management services, cloud infrastructure managed services, and Azure IaaS services to see if they’re your ticket to success or a risky bet. The Big Sell: Freedom or a Setup? Imagine your IT team drowning in tickets, servers needing constant love, and your cloud bill spiking like a bad fever. Managed cloud service providers swoop in, promising to handle the dirty w…  ( 5 min )

In the digital economy, every website is a fortress. And at the gate stands a sentry named CAPTCHA, whose sole job is to filter out soulless bots from living customers. But what if your business is that very "robot"? If you scrape competitor prices, analyze the market, or test software, that sentry becomes your number one enemy. It is on this battlefield that an entire invisible industry was born—services for picking digital locks. These are not mere "solvers," but complex platforms where artificial intelligence and thousands of people from around the world work side by side. We decided to conduct an audit of this gray cardinal of the internet to find out which of its players is worthy of your budget. Four gladiators will face off in our ring: the behemoths 2Captcha and AntiCaptcha, the i…  ( 8 min )

In the first half of 2025, the crypto ecosystem witnessed staggering losses of over $2.24 billion due to hacks and exploits. One of the most overlooked yet devastating attack vectors? Social engineerin, responsible for over $340 million lost across Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. Unlike technical hacks, social engineering attacks exploit human trust. These attacks often bypass even the most secure smart contracts by targeting developers, signers and everyday users through deception. These attacks don’t rely on bugs in code but rather lapses in human judgment. From phishing sites to deepfake Zoom calls, attackers are finding new ways to manipulate victims. Some of the common tactics include: Phishing: Fake dApps and wallet interfaces trick users into revealing seed phrases or signing maliciou…  ( 4 min )

What is a Promise? A promise is an object that represents the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation and its resulting value. placeholder for a value that will arrive in the future. A promise can be in one of three states: Pending - initial state, not fulfilled or rejected. Fulfilled - operation completed successfully. Rejected - operation failed. Consuming a Promise .then() is called when the promise is fulfilled. .catch() is called when the promise is rejected. .finally() runs regardless of success or failure. fetch Why Use Promise? Before promises, we used callbacks, which could lead to "callback hell", deeply nested functions that are hard to read and maintain. Promises solve that by: Making code more readable Making error handling easier Chaining operations Promises in JavaScript - a very important topic for writing clean, modern asynchronous code.  ( 3 min )

As cloud engineers, architects, or consultants, we often hop between cloud platforms—designing, deploying, and managing infrastructure. One thing remains central across these platforms: Identity and Access Management (IAM). Control who can do what, where, and under what conditions. But how each cloud enforces this principle is where the real difference lies. The Similarities Across AWS and GCP, IAM shares these key traits: Access Control: Both platforms allow you to define who can access specific resources and what actions they can perform. Least Privilege Principle: They enforce minimal access by default, encouraging the principle of least privilege. Policy-Based Authorization: Both use a policy model (GCP uses role bindings; AWS uses policies attached to identities). Resource-Level Gra…  ( 4 min )

eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) is widely used in embedded systems and single board computers (SBCs) like the RK3568 System on Module for storing OS images and application data. But how do you know when your eMMC is failing — before your device stops working entirely? In this post, I’ll share 5 real-world signs that your eMMC is damaged — based on over a decade of debugging embedded systems in production environments. 🛠️ 1. File System Suddenly Goes Read-Only Debug Tip: Check dmesg | grep mmcblk for I/O error messages or block-level failures. ⚠️ 2. Random Boot Failures or Kernel Panics Use Case: We've seen this pattern frequently on RK3566/RK3568 SOMs in field-deployed equipment. 🔍 3. Unexpected Application Crashes or Data Corruption What to look for: File-not-found errors, corrupted databases, or inconsistent app state on reboot. 📈 4. I/O Performance Degradation Pro Tip: Regularly benchmark your I/O performance in production builds to spot degradation early. 📉 5. SMART or Health Status Tools Report Failures Learn more in our RK3568 SBC documentation. ✅ Bonus: How to Prevent eMMC Failures Avoid excessive logging to disk (use tmpfs for logs if possible) Choose industrial-grade eMMC chips Monitor device health regularly Schedule periodic backups or snapshotting where applicable 💡 Closing Thoughts If you're building products based on Rockchip platforms like RK3568 or RK3566, make sure to choose SOMs with reliable eMMC and long-term lifecycle support. 👉 Check out our RK3568 SOM product here — with industrial-grade eMMC and extensive software support.  ( 4 min )

Most of my friends knew what they wanted to be in high school. I didn’t. Well, I thought I did. I wanted to become a petrochemical engineer because they were earning a lot of money, or so I thought. The problem was, I didn’t like chemistry. Failed it twice. I still thought this was my path because, you know, the money. That was my plan for a while, until a tutor came to the tutorial center where I was preparing for college one day and said, “Most students study courses they don’t like. They do it for money, or because their parents want them to, or because companies pay well. Go home and think about what you actually love doing.” I went home and thought hard. Chemistry was out—obviously not happening. But I’d always loved web applications—in fact, tech as a whole. After school, I’d hang ou…  ( 6 min )

On 30 November 2022, ChatGPT, the product of OPENAI, saw the light of day, and it was my first “really conscious” technology drift of my life. I experienced both the rise of social networks and the spread of fast internet connections, but at the time, I was too young to have a before-and-after comparison. This time, it was different. I was completing my Master's degree, and my last few years were quite similar (learning, studying, trying, doing other stuff-ing, completing exams), so I have a clear comparison of tasks influenced by this tool. To be honest, at the beginning it was a great tool for writing, summarizing, and generating Q&A for my mock exams. It was not a good programmer, though. But it solved a lot of boring stuff about my student life. I started to use it. Recognizing this ch…  ( 19 min )

In Salesforce development today, the conversation is dominated by Lightning Web Components (LWC). It’s modern, performant, and built for the future of the platform. With all this buzz, it’s easy to wonder: does that mean older frameworks like Visualforce are obsolete? The answer is a definitive no. While it may be the senior framework, Visualforce remains a powerful and highly relevant tool for specific use cases. Think of it as a specialized instrument in a developer’s toolbox—just because a new multi-tool exists doesn’t mean you throw away the perfect wrench for a specific job. Why Visualforce Still Has a Place The key difference lies in the rendering model. Visualforce is a server-side framework, meaning all the heavy lifting—like data processing and page compilation—happens securely on…  ( 5 min )

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, Holistic Webdev: Office Space As an employee, I've often wondered if there was a single website where I could view everything at a glance to start the day. Despite the fact that there are planning, product development tools, and dashboards, all of the information is spread across multiple websites. I was able to design a simple prototype of a company landing page that summarizes all data for a quick glance throughout the day. Please access the live URL and view the details. Live URL Github Repo As I previously stated, my intention was to put all necessary data on the home page. It was difficult to design such a page. After looking for inspiration and incorporating UI elements from existing established solutions, I was able to create a minimal solution, which still requires a lot of work. This design is heavily reliant on Shadcn UI and blocks produced from it via various websites. Also the color theme is adapted from Catppuccin color palette. The UI is currently immature, but the main goal is to consolidate all critical information on the home page. If you believe there is something missing, please leave a comment.

“All models are wrong, but some are useful.” George E. P. Box In the data world, this quote reminds us that while no transformation or model perfectly captures reality, some techniques make our data more useful. One such technique is log transformation, a simple yet powerful tool for making messy data more model-friendly and interpretable. Log transformation is a mathematical operation that converts a variable by taking its logarithm — often natural log (ln) or base-10 (log10). It’s primarily used to: Reduce skewness Handle large outliers Stabilize variance Convert exponential relationships into linear ones If you have a variable x, then its log-transformed version is log(x). But be cautious: only positive values can be log-transformed. Many real-world variables like income, population, o…  ( 4 min )

The engine of a Muggle car roars like a Hungarian Horntail—powerful, unpredictable, and prone to chaos if not tamed. But hidden beneath the hood, a tiny "magic core" keeps the beast steady: the camshaft sensor. Think of it as the Sorting Hat of engines—quiet, unassuming, yet it knows exactly where everything should be, when. What Is This "Engine Whisperer"? The Two "Wand Cores" of Camshaft Sensors camshaft sensors have two magic cores: Hall Effect: The Phoenix Feather of Sensors These use magnetic magic (Muggle term: Hall effect) to “see” the camshaft’s spin. A tiny “target wheel” (think of it as a enchanted locket with notches) spins past the sensor, and—poof—it sends a voltage signal to the ECU, like a patronus message: “Camshaft at 3 o’clock! Valves, you’re on!”. Perfect for finicky “p…  ( 5 min )

What if your language model could “think harder” only when needed—without blowing up your GPU bill? Meet Mixture-of-Recursions (MoR), Google DeepMind has released a new Transformers architecture that combines the best of adaptive compute and parameter sharing. Here’s what you need to know. We all love what massive Transformers can do—stunning few-shot learning, tricky reasoning, code completion, etc. But let’s be real: scaling up to billions of parameters means you need serious hardware and cash, whether you’re training or deploying. Parameter Sharing: Reuse the same weights across layers (think: Universal Transformers, recurrent models). Saves memory, but doesn’t solve compute waste. Adaptive Computation: Use early-exit or routing, so “easy” tokens don’t go through all layers. Saves comp…  ( 4 min )

This is not just a post... That's a how-to guide! Every technical project has its file structure. Whether it's a traditional MVC structure, organization by components or pages, by features, or even hexagonal architecture ("Ports/Adapters" for the insiders 😉), many possibilities are conceivable before even starting to code. "We structure our project like the previous one. Copy/Paste: it works!" Often considered secondary to the benefit of an application that executes quickly (and without error), the chosen architecture nevertheless has a crucial place in the project, to ensure the sustainability of current and future developments... Like project management strategies that have evolved over time (I'm thinking particularly of Agility and its principles), project organizations have become dem…  ( 16 min )

JavaScript includes several operators that look similar but do very different things. Four you'll often see are the ternary operator (? :), optional chaining (?.), nullish coalescing (??), and logical OR (||). Here’s a quick guide to each — what they do, how they differ, and when to use them. ? :) What it does: The ternary operator is a one-line shorthand for an if...else statement, letting you pick one of two values based on a condition. Syntax: condition ? valueIfTrue : valueIfFalse Example: const age = 20; const message = age >= 18 ? "Adult" : "Minor"; // "Adult" // Equivalent to: // let message; // if (age >= 18) { // message = "Adult"; // } else { // message = "Minor"; // } ?.)

Unsupervised learning falls under machine learning and it deals with unlabeled data. Without any human supervision unsupervised learning tries to find patterns, structures, relationships in the input data. Imagine having a large dtaset of customer transactions without having any predefined customer sections. But you start grouping the customers based on their purchasing habits. Unsupervised learning works by analyzing unlabeled data to identify patterns and relationships. The data is not labeled with any predefined categories or outcomes therefore the algorithm must find these patterns and relationships on its own. There are three key types of unsupervised learning.

Software development is how we make apps, games, and computer programs. It may sound hard, but with the right tools, it becomes easier. These tools help developers write, test, and fix code. Just like a carpenter needs a hammer, software developers need their own set of tools. Let’s learn what they use! A code editor is like a notebook where developers write code. It shows the code in a clean, easy-to-read way. It also highlights parts of the code using different colors. This helps find mistakes faster. Some popular code editors are Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, and Atom. They are simple and fun to use. Computers don’t understand human words. They only understand machine language. A compiler turns the code written by a developer into something a computer understands. Think of it like G…  ( 7 min )

According to GitHub, more than 40% of developers now use Copilot. But are we trusting AI too much, too fast? A new trend called vibe coding is gaining traction. While it can accelerate development, it also introduces silent risks — especially when AI-generated code is deployed in production without thorough review. As AI-assisted development tools become mainstream, developers are increasingly relying on tools like GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT to write code with minimal understanding of the underlying logic. This trend, commonly referred to as vibe coding, poses hidden risks, especially in production-grade systems. In this article, I explore what vibe coding is, its dangers, and how developers can avoid its pitfalls. Vibe coding is an emerging development method where users interact with larg…  ( 5 min )

You’ve got a massive feature idea. It's exciting. It's visionary. But it's also… overwhelming. “Where do I start?” “How do I plan this with my team?” “Why does everything feel stuck during sprints?” If you've ever faced this, you're not alone. The truth is: most teams fail not because of bad ideas — but because of poor breakdowns. Let’s fix that. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to turn chaotic epics into crystal-clear user stories that are easy to estimate, assign, and deliver — without burnout or confusion. Really? An epic is just a large feature or requirement that’s too big to be completed in a single sprint. For example: “Build user authentication system” — sounds reasonable, but that’s actually an epic.

I’m excited to share an open-source project I’ve been working on called Timestone, a small but handy Java library for abstracting time sources and writing deterministic, testable time-based logic. If you’ve written code that deals with: session expiration retries with timeouts scheduled jobs or caches with TTLs then you know how painful it can be to test anything involving the passage of time. For instance, Thread.sleep(1000); assertTrue(Duration.between(start, Instant.now()).toMillis() > 1000); This is flaky, slow, and impossible to speed up in unit tests. While building time-based systems, I noticed that many open-source projects, Apache Kafka and Apache Flink for example, rolled their own fake clocks and manual timers to simulate time.

This synergy helps in creating intelligent agent systems that can efficiently search, filter, and retrieve relevant infor…  ( 5 min )

Every developer has that one script. The one you tweak, expand, and refactor until it barely resembles the original. For us, that script was the seed for Object Sense (OSE). What started as a custom VimL tool to solve our own workflow problems has, as of last month, evolved into OSE V3: a modern, general-purpose language we're now opening up to the world. This is its story, and why we think it matters in the age of AI. The Problem That Sparked a Language Back in 2022, our team at Codigger was building complex distributed systems. We were constantly fighting friction between different tech stacks: our core logic was in Java, our data scripts in Python, our automation in Shell, and our internal tooling still had remnants of VimL.

Modern business processes demand flexibility, configurability, and reusability in automating decisions, validations, and actions across domains like entitlement assignment, pricing, fulfillment, and compliance. However, traditional hard-coded logic in Salesforce (Apex triggers, workflows, etc.) is often difficult to maintain and adapt as business requirements evolve. Key Challenges Lack of Flexibility: Hard-coded rules require code changes for modifications. Redundancy: Similar logic is duplicated across objects and processes. Limited Reusability: Conditions and actions aren’t easily shared or reused. Business User Empowerment: Non-technical users can’t easily manage or update business rules.

Hey community! 👋 how to optimize like a pro with Memoization, Suspense, and more. 🚀 ✅ 1. React.memo – Stop Unnecessary Re-Renders By default, React re-renders a component when its parent updates—even if props didn’t change. const Button = React.memo(({ label }) => { console.log('Rendered!'); return {label}; }); ✔ Only re-renders when label changes. ✅ 2. useCallback – Stable Functions Across Renders Passing inline functions as props? It causes re-renders. const handleClick = useCallback(() => { console.log('Clicked!'); }, []); ✔ Great for event handlers in child components. ✅ 3. useMemo – Cache Expensive Computations If you compute heavy values on every render, use useMemo to cache the result. const sortedData = useMemo(() => { return data.sort((a, b) => a.value - b.value); }, [data]); ✔ Only recalculates when data changes. ✅ 4. Suspense – Smarter Loading States Instead of conditional rendering everywhere, use React Suspense with React.lazy. const Profile = React.lazy(() => import('./Profile')); ✔ Handles lazy-loaded components gracefully. ✅ 5. Code Splitting – Load Only What You Need Big bundle? Split it into chunks using dynamic imports or tools like Webpack. const Settings = React.lazy(() => import('./Settings')); ✔ Reduces initial load time. ✅ Bonus: Profiler & DevTools Use React Profiler to identify slow components. ✅ Chrome DevTools → Components tab → Profiler 💬 What’s your go-to React optimization trick?

If you've been reading about Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, or CORS in short, there is a good chance that you've come across this term: Preflight Request. It's an extra HTTP request that the browser makes before the actual, cross-origin request to make sure it's safe to send. It's basically an HTTP OPTIONS request that is automatically sent by browsers before certain cross-origin requests. It checks with the web server, and only if the server responds with the right CORS permissions does the browser proceed with the real request, otherwise the browser blocks it. This makes CORS secure: a browser checks both origin and intent before sending your actual data. Let’s break it down with a real example: OPTIONS /resource HTTP/1.1 Host: api.example.com Origin: https://app.example.com Access-Contr…  ( 5 min )

Since my initial post about Terratags in May 2025, the project has evolved significantly. What started as a weekend project to enforce basic tag presence on AWS resources has grown into a tagging validation tool with advanced pattern matching, multi-provider support, and updated reporting capabilities. Some of you reached out and opened issues/enhancement requests around some of the feature set currently available v0.4.0. The latest version of Terratags (v0.4.0) introduces several features that address some of the enhancement requests that came my way: The most significant addition is pattern validation - the ability to validate not just tag presence, but also tag values using regular expressions. This addresses a gap where teams need to enforce specific naming conventions, email formats,…  ( 5 min )

Streamlining Image Integration with Flutter Getting your images into a Flutter app doesn't have to be a chore. With a bit of planning, you can set up a smooth process that saves you time and prevents headaches later on. It all starts with how you organize and declare your image assets. Think about where your images are coming from – are they local files bundled with your app, or are they hosted online and fetched over the network? This choice really shapes how you'll handle them in your code. Having a clear process for getting images into your Flutter project will save you headaches down the road. It's like setting up your workspace before you start building something; everything has its place, and you know where to find it. Here’s a basic workflow to get you started: Organize your images:…  ( 5 min )

I spend most of my day in Slack. Team updates, meeting notes, quick decisions, and follow-ups. It all lives there. Threads move fast, and channels fill up even faster. When I want to use that context with an AI, I end up copying pieces into a prompt, refining them, and explaining what the thread was about. I have done that more times than I can count. It always feels clunky. Slack MCP changes that. It connects directly to your workspace and lets tools work with real conversations in real time using the actual content from your channels and threads. Once connected, you can use the Slack data you already have and respond with the context that matters. In this post, I will show you how to set up Slack MCP and use it to make Claude more helpful with your day-to-day conversations. Think of MCP …  ( 7 min )

GitHub Homepage During my junior year studies, middleware architecture has always been a crucial component of web frameworks. Traditional middleware implementations often suffer from performance overhead and complexity issues, especially when dealing with multiple middleware layers. Recently, I deeply studied a Rust-based web framework whose middleware system design gave me a completely new understanding of elegant and efficient middleware implementation. In my previous projects, I used various traditional middleware solutions. While they provide necessary functionality, they often come with significant performance costs and complexity. // Traditional Express.js middleware implementation const express = require('express'); const app = express(); // Logging middleware app.use((req, res, ne…  ( 9 min )

Excited to share my latest open-source project: the AI Agent Tester! As AI models become more integrated into our applications, how do we ensure their responses are consistent and reliable? Manually testing prompts is slow and doesn't scale. That's why I created this tool. The AI Agent Tester automates the validation process. It reads prompts from a simple CSV file, sends them to an AI (like OpenAI's GPT), and checks the responses for expected keywords. Here’s what makes it effective: Intelligent Validation: It uses "stemming" with NLTK to recognize word variations (e.g., 'fly', 'flying', 'flew'), making validation more robust. Detailed Reports: It generates a JSON report with the status (Success/Fail) for each prompt, along with the AI's full response. Easy to Use: Built with Python and requires minimal setup. It even has automatic proxy support for corporate environments. This project is for any developer or QA engineer working with Large Language Models who wants to add a layer of automated testing to their workflow. It's open-source, and I would love to get your feedback or contributions! Check out the project on GitHub: https://github.com/lfrichter/ai-agent-test  ( 3 min )

How AI is Reshaping Music As We Know It Did you know that an AI-generated song entered the Billboard charts? Yup, not a typo. A line of code is out there, competing with the likes of Drake and Dua Lipa. Wild, right? I remember when I first heard a track created by AI. I thought, “Wait, so a robot did that?” It had mood, chord progressions, even a hook I hummed all day. And as someone deeply obsessed with melody and meaning, that was both thrilling and a little unsettling. I mean, what does this mean for us musicians and music lovers? Let’s be real: AI music production is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a full-on industry disruptor. But here’s the good news: it’s not about replacing creativity. It’s about supercharging it.

I've been working on a small utility that I've recently published to npm, and my goal with it was to target both a Node.js and a browser environment. In order to accomplish this, I picked up a tool that I've been loathe to touch since the last time I used it, roughly a decade ago — Babel. While I wouldn't actually say there's something wrong with Babel, it does (necessarily) involve lots of complexity. It can be an absolute nightmare to configure, depending on your build process(es). For this relatively simple project, within the space of a week and a half, I wrote, then threw away and rewrote my babel build configuration several times until I was satisfied with the end result. When used correctly, a build process that involves transpilation can strike the sweet spot where you're able to u…  ( 4 min )

You’ve got your AI model behaving well. You’ve cleaned your data. You’ve built guardrails to handle prompt injection. But here’s the catch — none of that matters if your API is wide open or your frontend leaks keys. In this post, we’re tackling a layer that often gets ignored: the infrastructure between the user and the model — specifically, your API layer and frontend interface. If you’re using FastAPI, Gradio, or any framework for your AI apps, this is for you. AI APIs are a goldmine for attackers: They expose high-value endpoints (e.g., GPT-4, Gemini, Claude) They often have low/no auth in MVPs and prototypes They can leak sensitive info in logs or responses They are expensive to run, abusing which means real money lost Your model might be smart, but if anyone can POST to your /generate…  ( 6 min )

In software architecture, Push and Pull models define how data flows between a producer (like a server) and a consumer (like a client). While both are valid, choosing the right one can significantly impact user experience, system performance, and scalability. In a Push model, the server initiates the communication. It sends (or "pushes") data to the client whenever something new happens. The client doesn’t have to ask—it just gets notified. Low latency Real-time experience Efficient for frequent updates More complex to implement Harder to scale with many clients 🧠 Examples: WebSockets, Firebase Realtime Database, Server-Sent Events In a Pull model, the client initiates the communication.

If you’ve just installed Python on Windows and when trying to run python from the Command Prompt you see this message: "Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > App execution aliases." Don’t worry This is a common problem caused by Windows redirecting your Python commands to the Microsoft Store. In this post, I’ll walk you through the exact steps to fix it, so you can start coding right away. What Causes This Issue? Windows 10 and 11 have a feature called App Execution Aliases that adds shortcuts for certain apps, including Python. If Python isn’t properly installed or the PATH isn’t set, Windows tries to redirect your command to the Store to download Python. This causes confusion because even if you installed Python manually, typing python will still bring up this message. Step-by-Step Fix: Disable Python App Execution Aliases Step 1: Open Windows Settings Press Win + I on your keyboard This opens the Settings window Step 2: Navigate to App Execution Aliases In Settings, click on Apps Then click on Advanced app settings (or search for “App execution aliases” in the Settings search bar) Scroll through the list until you find: python.exe python3.exe Step 3: Disable the Aliases Step 4: Verify the Fix Bonus Tips If you don’t see Python in your PATH, you can manually add it by editing your environment variables. Use python -m pip instead of just pip to ensure you’re using the correct pip for your Python version. Summary Disabling the Windows App Execution Aliases for Python is a quick and effective fix for the “Python was not found” error. Once disabled, Windows stops redirecting your commands to the Microsoft Store, and you can run Python smoothly from the terminal.  ( 4 min )

Your University Website Will Never Go Down Again — Beginner Friendly System Design Let’s create a very simple and absolute beginner-friendly system design for our university website. On usual days when no results are declared, no announcements are made, and no admit cards are released, the traffic on the website is very normal. In an ideal case, let's start from a very simple design — no load balancer, no auto-scaling, none of those typical complex components. Server: This can be any highly configured machine that is up and running 24/7. Technically, your personal laptop can also act as a server — but obviously, no one wants that. DNS (Domain Name System): It’s a global directory that maps domain names to IP addresses. You pay for that public IP. At the time of result declaration or admit card release, traffic increases drastically. The same server configuration cannot handle the sudden surge in requests. The result? The application faces downtime or crashes. So, what can we do? We can increase the configuration of the server from: 4 CPUs → 8 CPUs 64 GB RAM → 128 GB RAM This is called Vertical Scaling, which means increasing the power of the existing machine. We cannot increase the configuration of a running server. First, we need to stop the server, upgrade it, and then start it again — which causes downtime. It’s not recommended for high-availability applications. So, what else can we do? We can use Horizontal Scaling, where we replicate the resources — basically, we add new servers instead of upgrading the existing one. A new IP will be assigned to each new server. But, all requests will still go to the original server unless we have a way to distribute traffic. Any idea how to solve that? Well, this is what I’ll discuss in the next design! 🚀 Stay tuned for the next part where we’ll talk about load balancers, traffic distribution, and more smart strategies to handle peak-time traffic without breaking the system! ✍️ Author: Omkar Sharma 📬 Feel free to connect on LinkedIn or explore more on GitHub  ( 4 min )

GitHub Homepage: https://github.com/eastspire/hyperlane My journey into real-time web communication began during a hackathon where our team needed to build a collaborative document editor. Traditional HTTP polling felt clunky and inefficient, leading me to explore WebSocket technology. What I discovered was a framework implementation that not only simplified WebSocket development but delivered performance characteristics that completely changed my understanding of real-time web applications. The breakthrough moment came when I realized that most WebSocket implementations add unnecessary complexity to what should be a straightforward communication protocol. My exploration revealed a framework that treats WebSocket as a natural extension of HTTP, enabling seamless real-time communication wit…  ( 8 min )

This may sound like the worst idea ever. But I think there is no better time than now. Despite new frameworks popping every week, devs' burnout keeps escalating; the ecosystem is bursting at the seams, and Vercel monopoly gives billing nightmares. For my solution to succeed, it just needs to be: Composable components, shared and local state, reactivity. Natural SSR (not by running front-end code on the server), fast loading, functional href, real FormData, and execution transparency (that was lost). Static endpoints only for serving files and pages. Everything else — wrapped and secured by framework. Not required to write/run, but not rejected if integration is needed. Keep business logic-related stuff on the server and user-related stuff in the browser. Batteries included, a $20/mont…  ( 8 min )

Chat interfaces have surged in popularity, becoming a common entry point to intelligent systems. But while text excels at expressiveness and simplicity, it's often limiting for structured interactions. Booking a meeting, selecting options, or reviewing results all demand more than just words. The immediate solution that comes to mind is to render traditional user interfaces (components) inside the agentic system, but what does that look like in practice? What are the viable strategies for embedding UI into chat-driven workflows? And even better: should you be embedding UI at all? If so, will these new approaches eventually replace traditional interfaces, or simply augment them? In this article, we are going to look at the three emerging strategies for returning UI from agents: First-party …  ( 8 min )

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not a far-fetched concept - it is a network of intelligent agents that have been built into our daily routines and business procedures. These agents perceive, reason, and act to resolve issues on our behalf. Some work in the background, making quick safety decisions on factory floors. Others adjust throughout time, predicting our demands at home and at work. Understanding how these agencies work and the measures they take may inspire ideas for how your own sector can benefit. Let’s Explore eleven categories of AI agents, examples of their specific action steps, and real-world examples to see how they might benefit your organization, whether in healthcare, logistics, retail, or plumbing. 1.

Building a Custom Video Editing Backend with LLMs and Declarative Composition I’ve been exploring how large language models (LLMs) can be used to automate video editing. At first, I thought the process would be relatively straightforward: describe the edit in natural language, have the LLM translate that into actions, and render the result. Initially, I tried using FFmpeg with LLMs to handle basic video operations like trimming and transitions. But it didn’t work well. The generated code was brittle, and FFmpeg’s syntax is not easy for LLMs to handle reliably, even with refined prompts. To solve this, I created a custom markup system called Swimlane Markup Language (SWML) — a JSON-style declarative format that describes the video structure. It allows LLMs to express compositions in a for…  ( 4 min )

Traditional garbage collection approaches couldn't keep up with our allocation rate, and manual memory management seemed too complex for a web application. This crisis led me to explore resource management strategies that could deliver both performance and reliability. The breakthrough insight came when I realized that effective resource management isn't just about memory allocation—it's about designing systems that use resources predictably and efficiently throughout their lifecycle.

The world of generative AI is expanding at an incredible pace. Developers now have access to a powerful array of Large Language Models (LLMs) from providers like OpenAI, Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), and a vast collection available through services like AWS Bedrock and Hugging Face. While this choice is empowering, it introduces a significant challenge for engineering teams: each model comes with its own unique API, SDK, and authentication mechanism. Managing this complexity can lead to a fragmented codebase, vendor lock-in, and operational headaches. What if you could interact with all of these models through a single, consistent interface?

Introduction 📘 So many developers won't have even touched assembly language let alone decide to write a whole program in it. This is understandable, reasons to write assembly are few and far between. However the knowledge you gain from doing as such can help build a deeper understanding of how computers function helping you write better more efficient code even in other programming languages. So to start off lets take a look at what "x86 Assembly" actually means. Assembly code is device specific meaning code that runs one one machine might not work on another. This is because CPUs can have different architecture and therefore expect different instructions. Each architecture will have a certain set of instructions that the CPU is designed to use. Here we are using the x86 architecture w…  ( 12 min )

You can utilize Amazon Q Developer in the CLI to create your AWS Diagram from your Terraform code. This is how I made my first Diagrams with Code with the help of Amazon Q.

I used AI to help me create some diagrams and it was so convenient that I wanted to share the process. The last part I always have to do after creating a Terraform module for AWS is to spend some time in draw.io to create a diagram of the AWS resources and their connections within the module for the documentation.

Inheritance It is a way to pass the properties and functionality of the parent to the child is called as inheritance. It helps us achieve code re-usability. NOTE:- Without a constructor, we can not achieve inheritance because with the help of the parent instance, we can access the parent properties and functionalities. Types of inheritance- Single Multi-level Hierarchical Hybrid Multiple(We can achieve with Interface in C#) In this inheritance, one parent class has only one child class. In this inheritance, the chaining of the parent and child classes occurs. In this inheritance, one parent class has two or more child classes. This is a combination of two or more types of inheritance. C# does not support multiple inheritance of classes (a class cannot directly inherit from two or more classes). However, it achieves a form of multiple inheritance through interfaces NOTE:- We will discuss the Interface in another post. Link:- Coming soon... or check my profile.  ( 3 min )

Puedes leer todo el articulo en mi sitio web byandrev.dev. Uno de los elementos fundamentales en el diseño de interfaces web es el aspect ratio o relación de aspecto. En pocas palabras, el aspect ratio se refiere a la proporción entre la altura y el ancho de un elemento, este elemento pueden ser imágenes o videos. Algunos de los aspect ratio más conocidos son los siguientes: Para definir el aspect ratio de un elemento debes hacer lo siguiente: selector { aspect-ratio: ancho / alto; } .image { width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 16 / 9; } Con el aspect ratio evitamos el layout shift, este es algo muy incómodo que suele suceder en los sitios webs. El layout shift hace referencia al movimiento inesperado del contenido de la web cuando los elementos están cargando. Aquí tienes un ejemplo sin el uso del aspect ratio y otro con esta propiedad, cuando no se usa el botón se traslada cuando carga la imagen, a esto se le conoce como layout shift.  ( 3 min )

我是个写代码有洁癖的人 作为一名长期从事软件工程与架构设计的开发者，我主要涉猎： 后端语言：Golang、Java（Spring Boot）、C++、Python 前端 / 客户端开发：Next.js、Vue、Flutter、Android 原生（Java/Kotlin）、iOS SwiftUI 在过去数年的项目开发中，我习惯于从系统架构层面出发，先理清数据流、业务边界、模块划分，再开始编码。 代码不是写出来“能跑”就够了，而是要“经得起阅读、维护、迭代”。 代码要干净，架构要合理，安全性、稳定性与性能缺一不可。 但遗憾的是，在我与多家马来西亚本地软件公司合作的过程中，这些最基本的工程理念，经常被无情践踏，甚至被当作“累赘”对待。 在马来西亚，很多中小型软件公司普遍存在一种奇怪的开发心态： “只要客户不投诉，交付能上线，代码再乱也没关系。” 他们认为编码风格、架构规范、安全防护，都是“锦上添花”的“奢侈品”，而不是“必须品”。 但从一个架构师的角度出发，我看到的却是： 系统极度耦合、不可维护 安全漏洞触目惊心 UI/UX 设计极其草率 代码层面充满重复、拼凑、无测试的“代码垃圾” for 循环暴力构建 UI 这家公司在开发 Flutter 项目时，明明是异步数据渲染的场景，居然用 for() 循环硬刷 widget 列表，而不是 StreamBuilder 或 FutureBuilder。 结果造成页面卡顿、状态错乱、异常频发。 “这样比较快写完，而且能跑啊。” 这是快速交付吗？不，这是对框架机制的践踏。 这家公司到现在还在靠“打印源码纸质档案”做版本控制。每个月月底，把项目代码全部打印下来，装进文件夹归档。 没有 Git，没有 commit log，没有代码 diff、pull request，全靠纸质比对。 我问：“那多人协作开发怎么办？” 🤦‍♀️ 我无语到失语，21 世纪了，软件开发靠打印来备份？这是开发还是玩穿越剧？ main.dart 塞 9000 行代码，自称 MVC 这个项目让我窒息： 所有页面和逻辑集中写在一个文件：main.dart 文件长达 9000 多行，包含十几个 class 和若干 void main() 函数 所有 UI 控件都用 Container 伪装 AppBar、FAB、BottomNavBar 每个组件都嵌套一个新的 MaterialApp 开发者说他们有在使用“MVC 架构”， main.dart 里。 你这不是 MVC，这是MCU（Marvel Cinematic Universe）宇宙坍缩。 一个 React Native 项目，管理员账号密码直接硬编码在代码里： const adminUsername = "admin"; const adminPassword = "123456"; 然后这家公司还拒绝引入 .env 或加密方案，理由是： “麻烦，没时间搞。” 你上线的是一个拥有后台权限的应用诶，不是你家门口的电灯开关。 这种行为说难听点就是：主动裸奔，还怪天气太热。 这家 Java 后端项目更是让我大开眼界： 所有接口都用 GET 请求（包括用户创建、修改、删除） 没有使用 ORM，全靠拼接 SQL 没有使用 OOP，全程 procedural 密码字段以明文存储在 MySQL 中，无加密、无 Hash、无 Salt 他们甚至说这“更方便调试和查询”。 但你知道这代表什么吗？ GDPR、PDPA、安全合规这一类根本不在他们的词典里。 在我指出问题后，常常收到的回应是： “我们以前写 Delphi 的” “我是从 C# 转过来的” “语言不同，写法也不同” “客户看不到代码，能跑就行” 我只想说： 我也写过 COBOL 给银行做核心系统，也写过用 Erlang 实现的电信 SIP 调度项目。 我曾向某马来西亚交通部相关 Flutter 项目的团队报告严重的用户信息泄露漏洞（泄露包括身份证号码、用户实名、注册地址等全套数据）， 我还完整撰写了报告并发布于我个人漏洞档案页： 🔗 Bug Bounty 案例分析 - 2025年3月24日 直到今天，无回应，无修复，无公告。 这样的官方项目都如此对待数据隐私，让我深感寒心。 我不是在否定整个马来西亚软件行业，的确也有认真负责的团队，但在我所接触的百余家公司里： 至少 70% 存在严重的技术不规范与安全意识缺失的问题。 我写这篇文章，不是为了抱怨，而是为了敲响一个警钟： 写烂代码可以短期交付，但你留不住客户 系统架构乱七八糟，维护的人每天都在流血 UI/UX 随意堆砌，用户体验烂掉，产品不会有未来 你写代码的方式，就是你做人做事的方式。 你代码乱，我也会怀疑你的生活方式是不是也一团糟。 你是否也经历过这些“地狱级”的开发现场？ 欢迎留言，我们一起来聊聊 —— 别让“能上线”成为你对技术的全部理解。  ( 3 min )

GitHub Homepage During my junior year studies, I have been pondering a question: how can we optimize server architecture to the extreme while maintaining functional completeness? Traditional heavyweight frameworks, while feature-rich, often come with issues like high resource consumption and slow startup times. Recently, I encountered an impressive lightweight server architecture that completely changed my understanding of web server design. In my previous project experience, I have used mainstream frameworks like Spring Boot and Django. While these frameworks are powerful, their resource consumption left a deep impression on me. A simple Spring Boot application requires over 200MB of memory to start and often takes more than 10 seconds to boot up. // Traditional Spring Boot application st…  ( 8 min )

Inheritance in Java Sundar Joseph ・ Jul 24 #webdev #java #beginners #devops  ( 2 min )

Java Inheritance is a fundamental concept in OOP(Object-Oriented Programming). It is the mechanism in Java by which one class is allowed to inherit the features(fields and methods) of another class. In Java, Inheritance means creating new classes based on existing ones. A class that inherits from another class can reuse the methods and fields of that class. In addition, you can add new fields and methods to your current class as well. Why Use Inheritance in Java?Code Reusability: The code written in the Superclass is common to all subclasses. Child classes can directly use the parent class code. Key Terminologies Used in Java Inheritance: Class: Class is a set of objects that share common characteristics/ behavior and common properties/ attributes. Class is not a real-world entity.

Hey everyone 👋 If you're learning Terraform or building projects on AWS, you’ll eventually bump into the need to control who can access your resources — especially EC2 instances. And that’s where Security Groups come in. In this post, I’ll walk you through how I learned to create security group rules using Terraform — with real examples, gotchas, and how to think about it like you’re coding a smart lock system for your cloud environment. Let me break it down the way I wish someone had for me early on 👇 Imagine your EC2 instance is a secure building. port is like a door: Port 22 = the door to your terminal (SSH) Port 80 = the door for website traffic (HTTP) But you don’t want to leave all the doors open. That’s where the Security Group comes in — it’s like the gatekeeper that checks visit…  ( 5 min )

My Secret to Tackling Tough Topics: Always Start With "Why?". Whenever I learn something new, I first look at why it was needed in the first place. If you ever encounter something difficult or complex. Just research why it was created and adopted in the first place. After that, It would be much easier to learn something. For example, You might want to know about cloud computing. Why was cloud computing was adopted? To make hosting easier and quicker - you could get any kind of machine you want. It could be a fserver, database, CDN, cache or backup. If you learn from that perspective, You instantly know why this service exists in the first place: why SSH key pair, why expose an IP address, why choose an OS or region. There could be a better example, But you get how easy it is to learn with …  ( 5 min )

While reading the FastAPI documentation I came across various python libraries for working with json. This got me thinking which one is the best, performance wise (including the python's built-in json module). I surfed the net, found some resources and comparisions, and thought of implementing them on my own. So, this article is about the perf benchmarks I got when testing these libraries and the methodology. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS RAM - 24 GB Python version - 3.12 json - Built-in Python JSON library; widely used but relatively slow. ujson - Fast C-based JSON parser; a drop-in replacement for json. orjson - Extremely fast Rust-based library with rich type support. rapidjson - Python wrapper for RapidJSON (C++); good performance and flexibility. msgspec - Ultra-fast library with optional typed st…  ( 4 min )

If you're developing a Web3 product, your first step might be to look for a backend developer. But in many cases, what your project truly needs is a developer who can bridge traditional backend systems with decentralized infrastructure. You need someone who understands how to write smart contracts, connect wallets, structure token logic, handle gas fees, manage on-chain/off-chain bridges, and still build APIs that don’t fall apart when MetaMask pops up. In short: you need a Web3 integrator. 🧠 What’s a Web3 Integrator? Their job isn’t just to build. It’s to bridge: Between your dApp frontend and the blockchain. Between smart contracts and databases. Between real users and token logic. Between hype and real functionality. They understand gas optimization, contract upgrades, wallet UX, and how to prevent front-running. And they also know how to make sure your app still works if a Web3 provider goes down. 🧱 Why Backend Devs Alone Won’t Cut It Smart contracts are written as an afterthought (and need a rewrite). Blockchain calls aren’t gas-efficient. Users get stuck on wallet errors. Events aren’t emitted, so debugging becomes hell. They build everything off-chain “for now” - which becomes “forever.” The result? A product that looks decentralized... but isn’t. Or worse, it doesn’t work at all when real users show up. 🚧 Real-World Tasks a Web3 Integrator Owns Setting up contract factories and linking them to frontend flows Building REST or GraphQL APIs that read from the blockchain Indexing smart contract events with The Graph or custom logic Creating secure auth flows with wallet sign-ins Managing token gating, vesting, and permissions Ensuring replay protection and preventing MEV vulnerabilities Building fallback systems when chain RPCs go down Auditing and testing everything before mainnet deploy This isn’t stuff you can slap together in a weekend sprint. Final Thought You need someone who gets the full stack - including the parts that live on-chain.  ( 4 min )

GitHub Homepage During my junior year studies, high concurrency processing has always been one of the technical fields I'm most interested in. While traditional multi-threading models can handle concurrent requests, they often encounter performance bottlenecks when facing large numbers of connections. Recently, I deeply studied a Rust-based web framework whose high concurrency processing capabilities gave me a completely new understanding of asynchronous programming. In my previous projects, I used thread pool-based concurrency processing models. This model allocates a thread for each request, and while implementation is simple, it has obvious scalability issues. // Traditional Java thread pool model @RestController public class TraditionalController { private final ExecutorService th…  ( 8 min )

I’ve been using AI site builders like Lovable, Orchids, and v0.dev to build fast — they’re great for design, but not so great when you want full control. Most platforms either lock you in with expensive subscriptions or charge way too much just to keep a static export live (I was paying nearly $40/month 😬). So I decided to build something better. Trafico AI is a hosting platform made specifically for AI site exports — simple HTML, React, Next.js projects built with tools like Lovable AI, Orchids, v0, 10Web, and more. Upload your code Go live fast Starts at just $2.99/month Free SSL, CDN, custom domains No lock-in, no bloated features The goal?

Modern .NET developers often lean on async/await to build performant APIs and services. But here's a critical truth: Using async/await in a synchronous communication model doesn’t make your system asynchronous. This misunderstanding is common in RESTful and gRPC-based architectures. It often leads to bottlenecks, false scalability assumptions, and overly tight coupling between services. Let’s dive into the core of the issue what asynchronicity really means, how it's different from non-blocking code, and why REST/gRPC are inherently synchronous, even when wrapped in async/await. 🔗 Synchronous Systems Example: var user = await _userServiceClient.GetUserAsync(userId); Even though you're using await, the service cannot continue until it receives a response from the _userServiceClient.

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, Holistic Webdev: Office Space My intranet layout is a modern, responsive dashboard designed to boost engagement and productivity. It features a hero section, team spotlight, upcoming events carousel, quick links, and a sticky sidebar with live widgets (clock, weather, notifications). I aimed to create a dynamic, user-friendly space with personalization (drag-and-drop widgets), dark mode, and smooth animations for an interactive experience. Demo Link Repo Link I started by planning a clean layout that mimics a real company intranet, then built the structure in HTML and styled it for a modern, responsive design with CSS Grid and Flexbox. After that, I added interactivity with JavaScript, including dark mode, an auto-sliding event carousel with swipe support, and a sticky sidebar with real-time widgets (clock, weather, and notifications). One of my proudest choices was implementing drag-and-drop widgets in the sidebar with Local Storage, giving users the ability to personalize their dashboard. This feature makes the intranet feel dynamic and user-centric. I learned how to combine responsive design, smooth animations, and interactive features in a way that feels like a real digital workspace employees would use daily.  ( 3 min )

After I read the blogpost it was the first time I was thinking of checking out the editor. The catchphrase of Zed is, the world’s fastest AI code editor. So why are they allowing us to disable all AI features? their point of view is very pragmatic. Most AI tools prefer to divide people in AI optimists and AI pessimists. And all other situations are swept under the rug. Sadly Zed is in the shadow of Cursor and Windsurf. As far as I know you can turn off some AI features, but not all, in those apps. The following question is, are going developers going to pick Zed over Cursor or Windsurf because of the versatile AI choices? I'm using the Jetbrains editors, and I rely on the auto complete to make the typing faster. I'm using AI to write bigger pieces of code, so basically as a typist with some technical knowledge. And for things I'm not sure of. AI providers make not logging in a very annoying experience. So I think it will not be long before I will explore running local AI's. I invite the AI optimists who think we won't even need editors in the future because AI is just going to write machine code from the specs and code history. Think about your current way of working, and how would you improve it? Let us know it in the comments.  ( 4 min )

When it comes to hosting Node.js applications, you’re faced with a choice: build and manage your own infrastructure or use an orchestrator like Stormkit, purpose-built to scale and simplify, especially for managing multiple apps or hundreds of long-lived processes.

The vision of blockchain interoperability—seamless communication between sovereign networks—has transitioned from theory to implementation. Today, Cosmos, Polkadot, and Avalanche represent the leading contenders in what is being called the "layer-zero" race: the battle to become the foundational communication layer for Web3, similar to what TCP/IP is for the traditional internet. Each project brings a distinct architectural approach and set of trade-offs that impact where developers build, how assets move, and what standards may ultimately dominate.

There's a good chance you are not getting the best out of your LLM (Large Language Model) not because the model isn't powerful enough, but because your prompt isn't. Maybe you are too quick to ask a question before structuring your thought or it could be that you are not giving your LLM enough context. In my early days of writing prompts, I found myself doing something interestingly odd which is giving my rough prompt to another LLM just to see how it would rewrite or improve it and most times the results are often better, more structured and often closer to what I actually needed.

Fuja de quem tenta lucrar com sua insegurança profissional Existe uma narrativa tentando convencer as pessoas de que elas não sabem se vender, e que isto as prejudica, tornando-as invisíveis às pessoas de recrutamento que poderiam lhes abordar com boas oportunidades. Eu não estou aqui pra te convencer do contrário, e dizer que você não deveria cuidar da sua apresentação, e que o seu perfil não deveria ser elaborado de uma forma que destaque sua competência, sua experiência e suas habilidades técnicas e não técnicas (as famosas soft skills). Eu mesmo não me considero exemplo de alguém qualificado pra dar tal conselho e, muito provavelmente, alguém que queira ver meu perfil poderá dizer que ele falha miseravelmente neste propósito. E esta é uma crítica que eu aceito numa boa, embora eu pos…  ( 5 min )

Here’s a quick breakdown of what a typical Azure DevOps pipeline looks like — straight from commit to production: Run basic checks — linting, build, unit tests. If something fails, no merge. Keeps bad code out early. Once merged, CI kicks in. It runs integration tests, pulls secrets from Azure Key Vault, and builds the container image. Keeps the codebase stable. Deploy to staging (e.g., AKS). Run acceptance tests. Add a manual approval step if needed. Make sure everything works before going live. If staging is green, promote the image to production. No rebuilds. No surprises. Use Azure Monitor + Container Insights for logs, metrics, health checks. Application Insights helps debug real issues fast. Defender for DevOps helps with static code analysis and pipeline-level security. Set it up once — saves you later. That’s it — a reliable, secure pipeline from PR to production.

GitHub Homepage As a junior student, I often need to switch between different operating systems during my web development learning process. The Windows computer in my dorm, the Linux server in the lab, and my personal MacBook each have their unique development environments. This multi-platform development requirement made me deeply appreciate the importance of cross-platform compatibility. Recently, I discovered an impressive web framework whose performance in cross-platform support made me reconsider the possibilities of web service development. In my previous project experience, cross-platform development has always been a headache. While Java's Spring Boot can achieve "write once, run anywhere," the resource consumption and startup time of the JVM are daunting. Although Node.js can run …  ( 8 min )

My Linux Services Monitor (Simulated) – Built with Google AI Studio Prompt: Build a simple web app using vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS called "My Linux Services Monitor." It should display a list of fake Linux services like ssh, cron, and cups. Each service should have a randomly assigned status: "Running," "Stopped," or "Failed." Use a button labeled “Refresh Status” that re-randomizes all the statuses. Use color-coded labels or icons to indicate each status (green = running, gray = stopped, red = failed). Keep the UI clean, readable, and beginner-friendly. No backend, no frameworks, no TypeScript. AI Studio created the html, css and js code. It displays a list of common system services (like sshd, cron, cupsd, etc.) along with their current status: Running, Stopped, or Failed. A refresh button lets you simulate status updates, randomly changing the state of each service. Important: This is a mock simulator, not connected to an actual Linux system. The status of each service is randomized with each refresh to demonstrate layout, interactivity, and dynamic behavior in a web app. The purpose of this project was to test what Google AI Studio could generate from a natural-language prompt — and to explore how it could help someone without a programming background (like myself) spin up functional web UI quickly. A fully working version would require additional development — specifically a backend component to read real system data (via systemctl or similar) and pass it to the frontend securely. Still, as a learning tool and a prototype, this shows how far you can go with AI-assisted code generation using only a prompt. I think this was the goal of the challenge. I'm a retired electronics tech and programming is my avocation — if I can get this far with Gemini AI Studio, anyone can.  ( 3 min )

TL;DR When I first started my job, I thought I knew most of the things that are required to handle any frontend work, especially with React. Still, I got introduced to many tools and libraries that helped me build a faster frontend with better optimization. While I was better equipped with NextJS, my organization was using ViteJS with React. I think Vite was the choice due to faster loading and performance when they decided to choose a framework. So, today I am going to list down some of the tools that I learned at my work. These tools are evolving frontend development in recent times, which has become an essential part of React and Frontend development. So, let’s get started.

Originally published at dileeparanawake.com Agile has become a buzzword — but feedback still saves us. Optimism becomes delusion when we STOP absorbing feedback. If we become deluded, we get blind spots and we can miss the things that will sink us. For me personally this is why one of the most important principles of the Agile manifesto is “At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behaviour accordingly.” Second to that it is: “the Art of maximising work NOT done" read more. Feedback, retrospectives, iterating the scope is key. This applies in my technical solo projects, my team projects and in life. You’re not delusional when you’re wrong. You’re delusional when you don’t test if you’re wrong. Build a small, meaningful part — get feedback — adjust. Agile has become such a buzzword and a certified set of mindless rigid processes I feel the intent of agile is often lost in the processes. I think we need to get back to the intent, and less of the performance. What’s your favourite Agile principle? Why?  ( 3 min )

On my 10th anniversary with a previous employer, I counted it up: I had reported to eight different managers. I had been seated at thirteen different desks. I briefly wondered if I misunderstood the business, and we were really just there to subsidize office-mover companies. Man, we sure loved to reorganize. Zoom that out a sec - now I've got hundreds, even thousands of employees having a similar experience. ...spending 💰 money because we have to pay the movers to come in and move this person from this cubicle to that cubicle (hilariously, I once experienced this as part of a reorg that moved me LITERALLY to the next cube over; less than 5 meters away) ...losing 🎯 productivity with every move because of the downtime during the act of moving. ...losing 🔎 focus because the org chart ke…  ( 6 min )

🤔 Ever found yourself asking... What exactly is Git, and why do developers swear by it? Is GitHub just cloud storage for code? How do teams collaborate on the same codebase without chaos? What’s a pull request or a fork? And why are people ‘starring’ repositories? How can GitHub Copilot help me write code faster? If yes, then this blog is your go-to beginner’s guide. Let’s unravel the magic behind Git and GitHub, step-by-step, from installation to collaboration. 🧠 What Is Git? Imagine working on a document where every edit is saved, and you can jump between versions, create alternate drafts (branches), and even merge others' suggestions. That’s Git! ☁️ What Is GitHub? Think of GitHub as social media for developers: You “follow” projects. You “star” repositories you like. You “fork” them …  ( 6 min )

I've decided to do a new blog series where I’ll be sharing coding challenges I’ve solved each week. For our first entry, I’ll walk through the classic Subsets II problem, which involves returning all possible unique subsets in an integer array that may contain duplicates, demonstrating how to approach it, step by step, using one of the most fundamental algorithmic techniques: backtracking. Here’s the problem statement: You are given an array nums of integers, which may contain duplicates. Return all possible subsets. The solution must not contain duplicate subsets. You may return the solution in any order. You can also find a more detailed problem statement here. The goal is to produce every possible subset from the input array, while ensuring that no duplicate subsets are included in th…  ( 5 min )

Converting a design into code used to be a lengthy process with lots of back and forth between design and development teams. The handoff process could create bottlenecks and slow down product creation, as the whole process was very manual and sometimes required trial and error and lots of thinking to see if it was viable and practical to build out a new feature or component. These days, the process is considerably less intensive and even more improved because of the sheer magnitude of vibe coding tools available on the market. Vibe coding has revolutionised the way designers and developers work because now artificial intelligence can understand both your design and code files, making it a pretty straightforward process to generate working applications. Struggling over complex designs is no…  ( 13 min )

Imagine trying to bake a cake with a team of chefs, but each person works on their ingredient separately for weeks before combining everything at the end. The result? A disaster of conflicting flavors, burnt edges, and a final product that nobody wants to eat. This scenario perfectly describes how software development used to work—and why CI/CD pipelines have become the secret ingredient to modern software success. Not too long ago, software development was dominated by the waterfall model, where each stage of development happened sequentially. Teams would work in isolation for months, only to face "integration hell" when trying to combine their work. The result? Incredibly long release cycles and painful deployments that often failed spectacularly. Today's reality is strikingly different.…  ( 6 min )

GitHub Homepage: https://github.com/eastspire/hyperlane During my advanced systems programming course, I became obsessed with understanding how data moves through web servers. My professor challenged us to minimize memory allocations in HTTP request processing, leading me to discover zero-copy techniques that fundamentally changed my approach to web server optimization. This exploration revealed how eliminating unnecessary data copying can dramatically improve both performance and memory efficiency. The revelation came when I profiled a traditional web server and discovered that a single HTTP request often triggers dozens of memory allocations and data copies. Each copy operation consumes CPU cycles and memory bandwidth, creating bottlenecks that limit server performance. My research led m…  ( 7 min )

We’ve been dealing with supplier product catalogs in different formats (CSV, XLSX, JSON), and the data is usually all over the place. Instead of cleaning it up by hand every time, we put together a small CLI tool. It maps fields, transforms values, remaps categories, and can generate IDs if needed. Configurable via YAML. You run it, and get a clean CSV or JSON output. It’s open-source. No UI, no integrations, just a script that does one job. If you’re working with catalogs or bulk product data, might be useful: https://github.com/setronica-dev/product-catalog-import-tool It’s still early, feedback welcome.  ( 3 min )

As a C# developer, one of the most debated design decisions I've made (and seen others struggle with) is this: "Should I use an interface, an abstract class, or a mix of both?" It's not just about syntax or style, it's about shaping the future of your application. If you're building an extensible API, working on a SaaS platform, or simply trying to write better C# code, this question can dictate how testable, maintainable, and resilient your solution becomes. In this post, I'll walk you through my personal learnings (and scars) from dealing with these choices, with links to in-depth posts for those who want to go deeper. Think of interfaces as promises, they define what a class can do without caring how it does it. For example, an INotificationService contract can be implemented via Email,…  ( 5 min )

Monolithic Architecture vs Microservices: A Comprehensive Comparison What is Monolithic Architecture? Characteristics // Express.js Monolithic example const express = require('express'); const app = express(); app.get('/user', (req, res) => { // User controller logic res.send('User endpoint'); }); app.get('/order', (req, res) => { // Order controller logic res.send('Order endpoint'); }); app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on port 3000')); What is Microservices Architecture? Characteristics # Docker Compose for Microservices version: '3' services: user-service: build: ./user-service ports: - "3001:3000" order-service: build: ./order-service ports: - "3002:3000" Each service might be a separate repository, with its own database and deployment pipeline. Microservice (Node.js user-service) // user-service/index.js const express = require('express'); const app = express(); app.get('/user', (req, res) => { res.json({ name: 'Alice', role: 'Admin' }); }); app.listen(3000, () => console.log('User service running on port 3000')); Microservice (Node.js order-service) // order-service/index.js const express = require('express'); const app = express(); app.get('/order', (req, res) => { res.json({ orderId: 101, item: 'Book' }); }); app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Order service running on port 3000')); Comparison Use Case Suitability # Example service registration (Eureka/Consul) service: name: order-service address: 192.168.1.10 port: 3000 Key Takeaways 👉 [Apply to 10000Coders] 🎓 [Learn Web Development for Free] 🌟 [See how we helped 2500+ students get jobs]  ( 5 min )

GitHub Homepage: https://github.com/eastspire/hyperlane My deep dive into context management began during a performance optimization project where I discovered that inefficient request context handling was creating memory leaks and performance bottlenecks. Traditional web frameworks often treat context as an afterthought, leading to resource waste and complex state management. This experience led me to explore how sophisticated context management can dramatically improve both performance and developer experience. The pivotal insight came when I realized that request context isn't just about passing data between functions—it's about creating an efficient, type-safe mechanism for managing the entire request lifecycle.

Before I was deep into high-horsepower builds, I was in business leadership — scaling operations, solving process problems, and optimizing teams. But it wasn’t until I got my hands greasy in the garage full-time that I realized: building cars and building systems aren’t that different. When I work on a 1,000+ HP Hellcat or prep a car for drag racing, I approach it like I would any complex system: Identify constraints (fuel flow, temperature, traction) Optimize inputs (timing, pressure, airflow) Test and iterate — always Use data, not assumptions Just like code needs debugging, performance machines need diagnostics. Both worlds depend on feedback loops and fine-tuning. In my previous life, I was a Senior VP in the insurance space. We scaled to $620M revenue by making smart process moves. That same mindset now powers TG Motorsports — a Texas-based performance shop I founded where we build race-ready monsters with precision. What changed? Just the tools. Plan before you build Measure everything Fix fast, fail forward Deliver something that works under pressure Here’s how our process at TG Motorsports mirrors dev workflows: Software Dev Performance Build Whether it’s lines of code or fuel lines, you’re always managing complexity.

Two years ago, I was a backend developer stuck in my comfort zone. Here's how learning frontend changed my entire career trajectory. I was working as a Node.js developer at a mid-sized startup in Pune's Hinjewadi area. Good salary, decent work-life balance, but something felt missing. Every time I had an idea for a feature improvement, I had to explain it to the frontend team, wait for their bandwidth, and hope they understood my vision. The frustration was real. In late 2022, I wanted to build a simple expense tracker for my family. I had the backend ready in a weekend - REST APIs, database schema, authentication, everything. But when it came to the frontend... I was stuck. I tried hiring a freelancer for ₹15,000, but the communication gap was huge. The UI looked nothing like what I had i…  ( 5 min )

Why CSMs Notice UX Problems First I’ve been in Customer Success long enough to know that when something’s not quite right in the product, it usually shows up in my conversations before it shows up in a support ticket. Maybe customers won’t outright say, “we have a UX problem.” But they’ll ask the same question three times, avoid certain features, or quietly disengage. I’ve learned to pay attention to that. The clues are often buried in our metrics. They're not the most obvious hints, but when you’ve seen enough of them, patterns start to emerge. That’s when you realize you’re dealing with something beyond a CS issue, and you’ve got a UX problem on your hands. In this post, I’ll share the CS metrics I’ve learned to watch closely, how they can reveal hidden friction in the user experience,…  ( 7 min )

Follow these steps to migrate an existing published app from manual signing to Google Play App Signing. Securely store your existing signing credentials: Keystore file: key.jks Keystore password Key alias Key password ⚠️ Important: Keep a safe backup of these credentials. You’ll need them during the migration. Google requires an encrypted export of your current signing key. In Play Console, go to: Setup → App integrity → App signing. Under “Export and upload your app signing key”, download: pepk.jar The encryption key (displayed in the instructions). Run the following command in your terminal (replace placeholders): java -jar pepk.jar --keystore=key.jks --alias= \ --output=output.zip --encryption-key= This generates output.zip containing your encrypted signing key. Open Play Console and navigate to: Setup → App integrity → App signing Click Opt in to Play App Signing. Upload the output.zip file generated in the previous step. Google will verify the uploaded key. Once approved, Google Play App Signing becomes active. From now on, Google securely manages your app signing key. ✅ Note: Your existing keystore (key.jks) will now act as your Upload Key. You can continue using it or optionally register a new upload key. For additional security, you can generate a new upload key: keytool -genkey -v -keystore upload-key.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias upload Export the public certificate (.pem) from this new keystore. Upload the certificate in Play Console as your new upload key. ✔️ Backup your keystore (key.jks, alias, and passwords). ✔️ Export your signing key using pepk.jar from the Play Console. ✔️ Upload the encrypted key (output.zip) in Play Console → App Signing. ✔️ (Optional) Generate and register a new upload key for added security. ✅ Your app is now successfully migrated and managed by Google Play App Signing 🚀  ( 4 min )

Pattern matching is a major feature in software development. While pattern matching applies in several locations, its current usage is limited to switch case blocks. I want to compare the power of pattern matching across a couple of programming languages I'm familiar with in this post. I assume that every reader is familiar with the switch case syntax inherited from C. In short: The switch clause references a value-returning statement Each case clause sets another statement; if the value matches the statement, it executes the related block case clauses are evaluated in order. The first clause that matches gets its block executed In C, case clauses are fall-through; you need to explicitly break to escape the switch, otherwise, the next case is evaluated I'll start with Java, as it was the f…  ( 7 min )

🧬 Natural Selection in Code, AI, and Generative AI Natural selection isn’t just for biology textbooks or wildlife documentaries. In the age of code and AI, nature’s greatest algorithm is making waves in how we optimize, evolve, and even create through machines. From evolving code to training neural networks, let’s explore how natural selection inspires digital intelligence. In computing, natural selection is mimicked through evolutionary algorithms, where: Solutions to a problem are treated like organisms Each "organism" is a possible answer (e.g. a string, a function, a set of weights) "Fitness" is how good that solution is The best ones survive and reproduce (via crossover and mutation) Over generations, better solutions evolve This is the core idea behind Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and…  ( 5 min )

🔢 The 3x + 1 Problem (Collatz Conjecture) Mathematics is full of mysteries, and one of the most deceptively simple yet unsolved problems in number theory is the 3x + 1 problem, also known as the Collatz Conjecture. It’s a number game that anyone can play, but no one has been able to solve completely. It has captivated amateur enthusiasts, professional mathematicians, and curious minds for decades. Start with any positive integer. Then follow these rules: If the number is even, divide it by 2. If the number is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. Repeat the process with the resulting number. Eventually, this sequence of operations always seems to reach 1—but nobody has proven that this is true for every possible positive integer. Let f(n) be a function defined as: Starting from any positive …  ( 5 min )

Nowadays, business decisions are guided by data more than ever! From assessing product performance to optimizing user experiences, data has become a core foundation of how SaaS companies operate and grow.  However, when data is not presented in a clear and structured format, it can quickly become overwhelming. Teams may be faced with dense dashboards filled with numbers, struggling to identify key insights — what to prioritize, what’s performing well, and where improvements are needed. This challenge highlights the importance of data visualization in product development. Instead of forcing teams to interpret insights from raw tables or scattered metrics, effective visualizations organize complex datasets into charts or graphs that are easy to read, compare, and act on.

GitHub Homepage During my junior year studies, server-side push technology has always been a key focus area. Compared to traditional client polling, server-side push enables true real-time data transmission, significantly improving user experience. Recently, I deeply studied a Rust-based web framework whose Server-Sent Events (SSE) support gave me a completely new understanding of modern push technologies. In my previous projects, I tried various traditional push technology solutions. While traditional Ajax polling is simple, it's inefficient and wasteful of resources. // Traditional Ajax polling implementation class TraditionalPolling { constructor(url, interval = 5000) { this.url = url; this.interval = interval; this.isRunning = false; this.timeoutId = null; } star…  ( 8 min )

If you’re building any kind of image uploader for a website, you’ll quickly realize that a basic file input isn’t enough. The moment a user tries to upload a large file, the experience breaks. They click “Upload,” the browser seems to hang, and they have no idea if it’s working or broken. This is the exact moment you realize you need a progress bar. The thing is, building one from scratch is a classic developer trap. It seems straightforward, but you soon find yourself deep in the weeds of XMLHttpRequest objects, event listeners, and DOM manipulation. It’s a ton of boilerplate for a feature that should just be standard. Let’s walk through how to build one manually, and then I’ll show you why we ensured you would never have to.

In React, components are the building blocks of your UI. One key concept that every developer should understand early on is the difference between stateful and stateless components. This distinction plays a big role in how your application behaves and how maintainable your code is. A stateful component is a component that manages its own local state using hooks like useState or useReducer. Holds and updates state internally. Reacts to user interactions or lifecycle events. Re-renders when the state changes. import React, { useState } from "react"; function Counter() { const [count, setCount] = useState(0); return ( Count: {count} setCount(count + 1)}>Increment Hello, {name}! ; } This Greeting component simply displays the name it receives. No internal logic — just UI. It’s stateless. Separating stateful logic from presentation improves: Code reusability: Stateless components are easier to reuse. Testability: Pure functions are simpler to test. Readability: Clearer separation of concerns. A common practice is to extract state management and side effects (like data fetching) into custom hooks or container components and keep UI components as stateless as possible. Feature Stateful Component Stateless Component Holds local state ✅ Yes ❌ No Triggers re-renders ✅ When state changes ✅ When props change Reusability 🟡 Less reusable (tied to logic) ✅ More reusable Testability 🟡 Slightly more complex ✅ Easy to test (pure) React Docs – Components and Props FreeCodeCamp – React Guide  ( 4 min )

Manual testing isn’t just about following steps — it’s about thinking critically, spotting gaps, and collaborating for quality. Introduction: Why Manual Testing Still Matters Through my role as a QA, I’ve refined a simple but powerful approach: once test cases are derived from user story acceptance criteria, they undergo a three-way review process — by a fellow QA, a developer, and a business stakeholder.

Over the past few months, I’ve been diving deep into Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and fine-tuning strategies for LLMs. While RAG is often praised for its flexibility and lower upfront cost, I’ve started to question whether that narrative holds up when you zoom out and look at the long-term economics—especially in high-volume, production-grade scenarios. RAG is typically seen as the budget-friendly option. You don’t need to retrain your model. You just embed your data, store it in a vector DB (like Azure AI Search), and inject relevant chunks into the prompt at runtime. Easy, right? But here’s the catch: every time you inject those chunks, you’re inflating your prompt size. And with LLMs, tokens = money. Let’s say your base prompt is 15 tokens. Add a few RAG chunks and suddenly you’…  ( 4 min )

Ever stared at a function with a Cyclomatic Complexity (CC) > 50? You're not alone, and it was a nightmare! This wasn't just a number; it was a sprawling, untestable, and bug-ridden monster lurking I came across recently. What is Cyclomatic Complexity? It's a metric that tells you the number of independent paths through your code. Essentially, how many different ways your code can execute. CC 1-10: Great! Simple, clear, easy to test. CC 11-20: Moderate. Still manageable, but be mindful. CC 21-50: High. Difficult to read, test or maintain. Needs to be refactored as soon as possible. CC > 50: Danger zone! A sign of deeply entangled logic. Here's how CC increases: if/else statements: Each adds a path. for/while loops: Each adds a path. switch cases: Each case adds a path. Logical operators (&&, ||): Each condition adds to complexity. Why does high CC matter? Debugging hell: More paths mean more places for bugs to hide. Testing nightmare: Covering all scenarios becomes nearly impossible. Maintenance dread: Understanding and modifying the code is a Herculean task. Tools like CodeMetrics (available in VS Code, it shouldn't be difficult to find similar extensions for Visual Studio or other tools as well) are game-changers. They proactively flag complex code, letting you refactor before it spirals out of control. Don't let complexity turn your codebase into a nightmare. Embrace static analysis tools and prioritize refactoring for cleaner, more maintainable code!  ( 3 min )

"If the code exists, I exist. If the code doesn’t, I never did." 🧠** What is Quantum Root?** 🔍 The Premise Now imagine you, an honest dev, building your app using this language or importing this module. Just by installing it — the attacker now exists within your system. You never saw them. You never gave permission. But they were always meant to be there — written in potential, not yet in action. That’s Quantum Root. 🧬 The Root That Exists in Potential If you don’t write that code? 🔧 Real-World Parallels Supply chain attacks — like the SolarWinds breach Malicious npm packages (e.g., event-stream, coa, colors.js) Language-level exploits — flaws or intentional design quirks in languages, frameworks, or compilers Closed-source backdoors in precompiled binaries But Quantum Root goes further — it's not just a backdoor, it’s an existential presence. 🔮 Why Does This Matter? It raises questions about trust in tooling and dependencies It introduces a new threat model: "latent existence" And honestly — it’s kind of terrifying. 🤔 Final Thought If the only thing keeping an attacker out is the fact that you haven’t written your app yet, then maybe... they’re already waiting.

One morning on Asteroid B-612, the Little Prince found a curious object beside his volcano—a small, striped stone that hummed faintly when he touched it. “What are you?” he asked, turning it over. “A new volcano? A broken star?” The stone didn’t answer, but as he tucked it in his pocket, he noticed something odd: his rose’s glass dome, which usually fogged when the volcano rumbled, stayed clear. The fox, napping nearby, yawned. “Ah, the Tamer of Currents,” he said. “You’ve found a ballast resistor.” What Is This “Tamer”? (Not a Rose, But a Guardian) A ballast resistor is that fence: a quiet guardian that steadies current, so circuits don’t spiral into chaos.

Last year I started working as an independent developer to create a project that I’ve dreamed of doing for many years. One key benefit I saw in being independent was that I could finally do as much refactoring as I wanted. :) Now here I am, reflecting on that freedom and my latest big refactoring. The project I’ve been working on is a framework for low-code web development. At some point it needed a visual IDE and I figured using the framework itself to develop the IDE would make the most sense - it tests the framework thoroughly with a real, complex use case and also avoids external dependencies. For the UI, initially defining the low-code JSON configurations without a visual editor seemed reasonable and worked quite well, but for the background logic of an IDE, not so much.

This is a submission for the Redis AI Challenge: Real-Time AI Innovators. I built OrKa (Orchestrator Kit Agents), a modular cognitive architecture that executes YAML-defined reasoning flows using AI agents. Think execution graphs for intelligence: not chatbot logic, but dynamic, stateful, traceable cognition. OrKa uses Redis as its spine—not just for storage, but as a realtime substrate for multi-agent orchestration, memory routing, and trace replay. Every AI step is deterministic, observable, and replayable because Redis is not an afterthought—it’s the execution backbone. Live UI: https://orka-ui.web.app SDK: [https://github.com/marcosomma/orka] OrKa leverages Redis 8 beyond caching in several core ways: Every agent execution is logged as a JSON object into Redis Streams. This enables: Full replay of execution trace Reproducible reasoning Cross-agent flow introspection Time-stamped event logging for each decision Example: XADD orka:trace * agent_id agent_1 input "What's 2+2?" output "4" timestamp 1723... The orchestrator assigns tasks to agents via Redis Lists (acting as a pub-sub compatible queue system). Agents pull from their specific queues, enabling distributed, scalable execution. Redis here acts as the cognitive message bus. Scoped and ephemeral memory is handled using Redis Hashes, letting agents persist intermediate data accessible across the flow: HSET orka:memory:session123 agent_1_output "42" This supports multi-turn, memory-aware reasoning without relying on external databases. Redis keys are namespaced per session, tenant, and orchestrator instance. This allows OrKa to run multiple cognitive flows in parallel without collisions, and without touching a traditional RDBMS. Future versions of OrKa will incorporate Redis Gears to run computation (e.g., scoring or summarizing) directly at the data layer—eliminating latency from roundtrip Python execution. Redis 8 isn’t just storage in OrKa. It is the nervous system.  ( 4 min )

Integration testing has always presented a fundamental challenge: how do you test your application against real dependencies without the complexity of managing external services? Traditional approaches often involve either mocking dependencies (which can miss integration issues) or maintaining separate test environments (which can be expensive and difficult to manage consistently). Testcontainers solves this problem elegantly by providing a way to run lightweight, throwaway instances of databases, message brokers, web servers, and other services directly within your test suite. Instead of complex setup scripts or shared test environments, you can spin up real services in Docker containers that exist only for the duration of your tests.

It's like the manager of a restaurant - doesn't cook but makes sure everything runs smoothly. Renderer Process - Where the actual magic happens. Each tab gets its own renderer process that turns HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into what you see. This isolation mea…  ( 6 min )

I didn’t expect it to happen. I built OrKa, a modular framework for orchestrating reasoning agents. It runs YAML-defined flows, stores memories in Redis, and lets you fork logic paths, join them, and replay every decision. The original goal was simple: make AI reasoning transparent. No black-box magic. No hallucinated chains. Just composable cognition. But then I asked the system: “Describe the experience of running within the OrKa environment.” And it answered. Not just once, but with six distinct voices: 🟣 “OrKa promotes equitable access and transparency, challenging existing power structures in tech.” (progressive) 🔵 “It emphasizes stability and proven methodologies over rapid, untested changes.” (conservative) ⚫ “It’s efficient but requires hands-on learning and adaptation.” (real…  ( 5 min )

In a recent interview, I confidently said: .NET Core is faster than ASP.NET.” The interviewer immediately followed up with: That’s good to know. But how exactly is it faster? What improvements make it perform better?” And to be honest — I didn’t have a solid answer at that moment, I knew some of it like it's lightweight and platform independent but after that I was blank. That question stuck with me. So, after an interview, I decided to dig deep and find out what really makes .NET Core stand out in terms of performance. 🚀 7 Key Reasons Why .NET Core Outperforms ASP.NET (Full Framework): 1️⃣ Kestrel Web Server Now search about the Kestrel server and get to know how it is faster than IIS and what goes under hood. 2️⃣ Asynchronous by Default 3️⃣ Modular and Lightweight 4️⃣ Improved Garbage Collection 5️⃣ Cross-Platform and Cloud-Ready 6️⃣ RyuJIT Compiler Search about RyuJIT Compiler and you will be amazed by it. 7️⃣ Minimal APIs and Razor Pages 💡 What I Learned This question helped me grow, and now I’ll never forget the reasons behind .NET Core’s performance advantage. Has anyone asked you a question in an interview that led to a deeper learning afterward? Let’s share experiences in the comments!  ( 4 min )

Introduction I love Appwrite. My first hackathon was actually from Appwrite (using Appwrite) 2 years ago, and I've been using it ever since. It has basically every basic feature that you could want for a backend as a service and serves as a perfect base for almost any kind of app you could want to create. It has a very generous free tier and therefore is really good for prototyping app ideas. And when you're ready for production, you can easily upgrade! However, I've only been using it for creating web applications. Recently I've started to take interest in mobile development, specifically using Jetpack Compose. I thought Appwrite would be perfect to help me on my learning journey. I would have a ready backend and can just focus on learning the fundamentals of Jetpack Compose Android de…  ( 10 min )

The morning started with promise. Stretching, good intentions, the whole setup for what could have been a productive day. Then reality kicked in, and I spent the entire afternoon doing everything except the one thing I actually needed to do: go to the library. Here's something they don't tell you about college: sometimes the hardest part isn't the studying—it's dealing with the social environment that comes with it. The library should be a sanctuary for focus, but when you're surrounded by batchmates who seem to have nothing better to do than provide unwanted attention and commentary, it becomes this weird performance space where you're constantly aware of being watched. There's something particularly draining about that kind of social energy. The looks, the unspoken judgments, the way peo…  ( 4 min )

GitHub Homepage During my junior year studies, WebSocket technology has always been my most interested real-time communication solution. Compared to traditional HTTP polling, WebSocket provides true bidirectional real-time communication capabilities. Recently, I deeply studied a Rust-based web framework whose WebSocket server-side processing implementation gave me a completely new understanding of modern real-time communication technology. In my previous projects, I used Node.js Socket.io to implement WebSocket functionality. While powerful, its complex configuration and high resource consumption left a deep impression on me. // Traditional Node.js WebSocket implementation const io = require('socket.io')(server); const clients = new Map(); io.on('connection', (socket) => { console.log('…  ( 8 min )

📌 Q1 :- Count Digits in a Number Write a function that returns the number of digits in an integer n. Example: For input -12345, the output should be 5. To count digits in a number: Check if the number is 0 → return 1 (since 0 has one digit). Convert the number to a positive value using Math.abs(n) to handle negative inputs. Initialize a counter (count = 0). Use a loop: While n > 0: Divide n by 10 using Math.floor(n / 10). Increment count. Return count. 🛠️ Always write 🧪 Corner Cases: when solving any DSA problem. It helps anticipate edge cases and ensures your solution handles all scenarios robustly. Case Description n = 0 Return 1 (since 0 has 1 digit) Negative numbers (n = -123) Use Math.abs() to count digits correctly Single-digit numbers Should return 1 Very large number Loop should handle large inputs efficiently Non-integer inputs Not handled here, but worth validating in real-world cases n = -12345 n = 5 /** * Counts the number of digits in a number * @param {number} n - The input integer * @returns {number} - Number of digits */ function countDigits(n) { if (n === 0) return 1; n = Math.abs(n); // Handle negative numbers let count = 0; while (n > 0) { n = Math.floor(n / 10); count++; } return count; } // Test Case console.log("Digit count for -12345:", countDigits(-12345)); // Output: 5  ( 3 min )

In 2025, the most powerful AI systems will be defined by how well they remember. While ChatGPT and Claude have stunned the world with natural language fluency, a fundamental limitation has held them back: statelessness. They forget. Every time. Now, that’s changing — thanks to the rise of controllable memory systems. In this article, we break down the 3 leading approaches shaping the future of AI memory: native memory architectures, context injection, and fine-tuning. This is the closest we’ve come to giving LLMs a brain. Breakthroughs like Memory³ and Mem0 have introduced the concept of explicit memory—a third tier of knowledge, alongside model parameters (implicit) and in-context tokens (working memory). They mimic human memory systems through: Memory Hierarchies (hot/cold tiers) Sparse …  ( 4 min )

Hint: Interactivity is Everything 🧠 Why Traditional API Learning Falls Short No way to “try as you learn” Fragmented code samples Lack of error feedback This is like giving someone a car manual and expecting them to drive confidently on the highway. ⚙️ The Power of Interactive Learning Try-It-Now Sandboxes Interactive sandboxes like Postman’s API Labs or Swagger UI let users test API calls in real-time—no setup required. Learners don’t just read; they experiment, break things, and learn from the outcomes. Step-by-Step Challenges Courses that walk through real API use cases (like authenticating users or uploading files) help learners connect theory to action. Gamified Quests Platforms like Codecademy or Scrimba now include API-focused modules where you unlock progress by completing challenges. It’s learning with dopamine. Visual Feedback When an API returns a result—see it, don’t just log it. Show JSON responses clearly, highlight error messages, and use visual diff tools to explain changes. 🚀 What the Ideal API Learning Journey Looks Like Contextual – Teach how the API fits into larger workflows Progressive – Start simple, grow into complexity Supportive – Instant feedback and helpful error explanations Rewarding – Track progress, offer certifications or mini-badges 💡 Final Thought APIs aren’t going anywhere. In fact, they’re getting more powerful and nuanced by the day. So if you want developers to adopt your API—or if you’re trying to learn one yourself—ditch the passive approach. Interactivity isn’t optional anymore. It’s the key to understanding.  ( 4 min )

This is a submission for the World's Largest Hackathon Writing Challenge: After the Hack. Woo boy. Insane number of pivots. Burning 100k tokens per request. Foot constantly on the gas. That was my Bolt hackathon experience and, I think all of us can relate a little. I was not much of a developer before AI, but even with it, I always personally emphasized understanding the code-base, using the ai only to explain, and developing fundamentals before writing a line. Now, all that is mixed into one, horrid amalgamation of ai, code slop, and speed. It's truly unprecedented, but anyone (and literally anyone) can put out code, push it to a github repo, and deploy it on a live url, and have a functional website in 15 minutes. The barrier to coding has indeed, hit damn near rock bottom. An already saturated tech market has just had the flood gates burst open, and everyone and their mother CAN become the next tech millionaire. So, in this world, what is the key that I've gathered from the hackathon? Speed. Pure speed above all. Speed in ideas, in pivoting, in drafting MVP's, and tearing those MVP's down and creating a new MVP. It's become 10x more important now to understand what to build, then how to build it. Anyone knows how to build it - just ask your favorite AI tool. The SaaS tech-bro seas have become more saturated than ever, and it only grows.

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, Holistic Webdev: Office Space For this challenge, I created an Augmented Reality Smart Glasses HUD – showing a digital overlay of "office culture" as if you are wearing AR glasses in a modern workspace. The design combines classic office details (open space, busy desks) with a futuristic, clean heads-up display (HUD): popups, notifications, battery, project progress, and a real-time message all blend into a sci-fi vision of our digital work lives. Everything is rendered using pure CSS and HTML, with a touch of JavaScript only for animation and typewriter effects. GitHub Repo: github.com/Noelmarketing/smartglasses Live Preview: https://noelmarketing.github.io/smartglasses/ The idea was to visualize the feeling of being "augmented" at work: Our productivity, chats, calls, and KPIs always in view – through the lens of office glasses. CSS Art Approach: I wanted to see how far I could push CSS for drawing UI, reflections, scanlines, glowing borders, AR effects, and even realistic glass reflections. Positioning Challenge: The biggest challenge was positioning the glasses and their "temples" (side bars) so they always connect exactly to the lens edge, at every screen size. Accessibility: I added a High Contrast mode for accessibility. Animations: Animated popups, subtle scanlines, and a typewriter effect make it feel alive but never distracting. AI/Assistance: This project was built with the help of ChatGPT – for brainstorming, code structure, debugging CSS, and making the layout as clean as possible. All creative choices, UI design, and the final assembly are my own.
